You don't really have to use a Dremel, any die grinder with a cutoff wheel will due. I was just thinking , "Something small for tight places." Dremel tools have probably fixed and unfortunately destroyed more things ..... well they have a double edge to them. Gunsmiths love them for the work they bring into their shop.

Dremel is a Dog Groomer's must-have. Perfect for shortening & smoothing nails. I use mine for carving sign substrates to get 3D effects. Handy little tool...

I will have to get more modern and buy a dremel.

I sorta thought they were a flash in the pan, like the (clap on/clap off) clapper.

I see from their website they have way more attachments than I'd ever dreamed and more people must love 'em more than I could have ever imagined.

Very useful tool..

Just had one of those moments you read about on here. It's like Deja Vu. Had an unexpected visitor knock on our door last night. It was a landscaper who said he saw a part fall from my Jeep as I came around the corner. He had been chasing me down to return it.

My wife was laughing so hard she was crying. I had been home over an hour. Nice guy.

 

[gr8dain]

So what was the part that fell off?

I'm curious too...

 

[Neuner]

It was just the breather, thank goodness. But, it was run over and covered in mud & oil so it took a little bit to figure it out.

People stop you saying now that's not just a boy's toy ,,, That's a Man's toy !!!!!.....

or more recently when I pulled into a trading estate and the security guy on the gate did a 50 yard dash to come and look at " a real tough looking Jeep" " bit of a beast you have there " Yup !! Sure is

Are you trying to say that you don't speak "the Queen's English"?

I'm an American and speak the language as I was taught, I.E. in the USA a fag isn't a cigarette. Similar language but not the same.

I admitt ignorance. So, what is a "Trading Estate"?

I think it's roughly analogous to a US Industrial Park, though in some places in US that could mean "business park" or "jam packed with white collar types."

If I'm right, a trading estate would be jam packed with machines that require grease, not typewriter ribbon. Heavy machines for manufacture of heavy material.

I know what you mean... I have a buddy from Australia, he has to slow down pretty often, when he speaks.

 

[MarkCJ7UK]

Ok ok Industrial Park ,, ( I think)

 

[Hedgehog]

I kinda like trading estate.

Never heard it referred to as the Queens English, always the Kings English. Dictionary says they're the same...

If the senior monarch is female, it's "Queen's English."

The dictionary's right: they are the same.

Didn't realize it fluctuates. Cool.

It does, but it's not surprising that the "fluctuation" isn't common knowledge.

If the word "terrorism" had been invented, in 1776, King George would have labeled George Washington "a terrorist," on par with the likes of Osama Bin Laden.

History is written by the winners and that's us.

-Jon

I take that back. George Washington didn't send armed war ships to fire upon the Tower of London or the House of Commons in London. The comparison to Bin Laden is unfair. Still, billeting English soldiers in private homes, w/o recourse or an escalation/appellate process in American homes is reprehensible and really that is part of the reason we rebelled against the Crown.

You know you own a CJ when you read through this thread and remember "History" was one of the four major subjects you had to learn.
