    drill the broken screw nout you need to break out the dremal tool with an abrasive cut off wheel,,,run the dremal and wear the abrasive wheel down on a piece of metal,to the size you feel is small enough for the task very carefully, cut groove in the busted screw, then use small screw driver in the groove to back the screw out

    The Government of Commiefornia has no right to ban the sale of any damn thing. It is up to an individual to make the decision on what to buy, not the government edited +what about the Indian tribes? not allowed to make deer skin moccasins? does this mean if you kill an elk for food. you have to let the hide rot away wastefully?

    Went into the local monument store in the near by town. The lady was busy, but took the time to ask if she could be of help. I stated I saw a small piece of granite by the dumpster. and asked if I could have it She said yes. Small is such a subjective word. what is small to me may or may not be small to you.

    I do not hit with it. it is more like 1 tap try this hit a stamp with your poly mallet then hit the stamp with a regular hammer do you feel a difference?

    I bought a nice teflon/plastic hammer to strike my tools with. I do not care for the bounce so I grabbed a blade pin off of the D8 dozer. LOL wrapped it in leather. it weighs a pound or more. it is my weight to hold items still it is an anvil it does not bounce

    hand made is something mad by hand, granted that sweat shops use sewing machines to turn out stuff but the difference is, They are turning out production and not one of a kind items So, In MY opinion,which if you add a dollar you can buy a cup of coffee,,hand made means an item that is not turned out in production form but made one at a time by a craftsman, not an hourly production employee

    please ignore this if you already are aware, I was playing around with some min-wax stain.And discovered that min-wax natural #209 will darken the lettering just like antiquing will. also, i put some on a piece that had already had mahogany antique applied, it seams to make it very shiny
