Tip!

When working on ones deck, lay some sort of cloth or something over the spaces between the boards. Other wise, watch your little dremel wrench go byebye down between the cracks!

Sharon, that might be a good idea where you are but whats a fella to do when he's got a foot and a half of snow on the dang deck.

Cliff stretch some plastic over your snowshoes and watch for the bounce.

When all else fails a 3/8" open end wrench works as well as a small adjustable (cresent) wrench.

.....watch your little dremel wrench go byebye, or an expensive diamond or ruby burr! The first time I cus.......uhhhh.....complained loudly as I went through the house and down under the deck to retrieve the dropped piece. Then I spend a half hour or so trying to find the next one. Then I went to Lowe's to buy one of those cheap (only by comparison to the regualr ones) indoor/ourdoor rugs (5'x6') that I can easily roll up. Then I got approval on the pattern and color. Then I started happily carving on the deck.

I have dropped small parts from pen and pepper mill mechanisms in the shop and they just disappear into the pile of wood chips never to be seen again.

I've lost an expensive bit down the hose to my "in lap dust collector too...and been known to utter something unlady like....

Say it isn't so Susieq!!!!

Yeper, Most of us have been there. But like Buckskin said, 3/8" wrench or a smaell Creasant wrench does work. I laid my Router wrench down "somewhere" and yet to find it. Hmmm, Maybe I am getting to be like HIHO! LOL
