Bob, Mac's has those little charmers for about $12, though they probably won't drop it an envelope and stamp for .50c, no sir.

Something like that will need a big *** 12" x 5" x 8" box for $14.73 shipping, + tax. I'm just ornery enough to try and make one if the need ever arose.

What's wrong with the one that shot across the garage floor, btw?

I'd say your right. Might be a good time to make a bigger order for other stuff I need. The one that shot across the floor went into the hole of no return

Thanks for the Mac's heads up..

Before you do, get you a hand held spot light. I always laughed at the people on CSI and their flashlights, but not no more............................You'd be amazed at the **** you can find with a good bright light.

Spent an hour looking for it, gave up and fashioned one from a piece of spring wire, working pretty good so far.

I lost a little tiny screw with a round head. After moving stuff for about ten minutes, I found it, put it on the bench, and replaced everything I had moved. I went to put the screw in and I had picked up a little bead of welding slag. Another ten minutes and I eventually found the screw
