US hardware standards are INSANE.
Working on a prop for my action-figure photo comic, "Minions at Work," and I want to attach some decorative lamp finials upside down as legs for a piece of furniture. Go to store, get some screws. Easy, right? A standard 1/4" screw is 20 pitch thread. But a lamp finial is 1/4" 27 pitch, for reasons that probably made sense to Tommy Edison. Can't find screws like I want, even online. (cont.)

Random equipment repair tip of the day: PB Blaster and patience is all you need, usually (though, a hammer in the right place can help). #corrosion #bolts

Went to the FAA website to look for anything on the "loose bolts" related to the Alaska Airlines door plug issue, and it appears the Boeing 737 Max has MORE THAN ONE LOOSE BOLT ISSUE?! #Boeing737Max #boeing #bolts #aviation https://www.faa.gov/newsroom/faa-closely-monitoring-inspections-boeing-737-max-airplanes

I will stop on the canvas. When it's time to stop. Topography is occurring. will add some LEDs on a cycle under this one. Again. I'll try and get all of these on show in the summer. Might be in my back garden but classic gallery cheapest wine and worst cheese vibes. #art #creative #3d #glue #paint #bolts
