Rockytime Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Another slow day so here goes. Went to ACE hardware today. Several younger girls working there. I told one girl she was too young to know what I was talking about. I was describing the fasteners we used to use when storm windows came out and were replaced with screen windows. I needed the fasteners that held the frames in. She finally asked another young fella (46 yo) what they were. He actually knew what they were. So this is what I used them for. Not a big deal but it works. OCtoolguy, lawson56, John B and 5 others 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandaideman Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Good Idea for this. Thats what I like about ACE they usually have someone who knows what I am talking about even if I don't.

OCtoolguy Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Great idea Les. Living most of my life here in So Cal, I wouldn't have known either. Rockytime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( those metal pieces look like a hand with the middle finger sticking up, ) What a great idea.. for holding the sandpaper.. I really like that.. I might make me one.. except it'd always be flipping me the bird.. but I have several people I'd like to make them for anyway.. Maybe the younger folks will know what they are if you say the metal bird flippers... I think they have an emoji for that.. so you can text them a picture.. Okay I better get out of here... having too much fun with this one.. I bet whoever designed these did it by accident.. they was just mad at their boss..

Gonzo Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Neat idea. Will have to go uptown to hardware store this morning and get a few of those fasteners. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
