When I was building my Hulett ore unloader several years ago I had rivets to install ....1500 holes to drill and 1500 Tichy rivets to push into the .074 holes ......there are probably 50 rivets in the carpet and I have not seen ONE since back then . Poof !!
:mrgreen: Try removing the carpet......it's probably riveted to the floor....50 times.....in one small area ! :mrgreen: Seriously though, I recently bought a new Eureka canister vacuum. Now when I lose a small part, I empty the canister, clean it out, and then vacuum the carpet. I do retrieve about 70% of dropped,tiny, parts that way. Rivets, ring bolts, even some of the shackles I make from fine wire, for the rigging of the sail powered craft, that will go on the modules. Yeah, it's not perfect, but
I can live with a 70% recovery rate.
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
