1) The advice from AM is great, I was going to post the nail polish trick myself. Just steal any color your better half has if you cannot get clear.

2) You need any parts from Emerson, let me know, I have a couple of contacts there myself.

3) Loc-Tite will accompany the next thing I send you. You want Red, Blue, or Green?

4) Anybody starts making custom Smatchets here, I want in on the deal.

HTH,

TR

Mr. Harsey, on a long enough timeline, everybody's survivability rate drops to zero (except Team Sergeants).

If we're not living on the edge, we're takin' up too much space, besides, do you want to live forever?

Sacamuelas,
Smatchets are really good for use on dentists. You make fun of the Smatchet, you misspelled Mr. Harsey's name, you make fun of the 18Xers.

I'm not sure even I can save you this time. Molar Mechanic.

Yes Sir, Mr. Harsey. I read that in one of the past threads I think.
That is why I included the disclaimer. I am sure it is a fine piece of equipment.

Weak shit for this late in the game. You're going to have to kiss waaaaay more ass than that to get back in.

NDD-
Quit misquoting me. I am starting to feel like Dr. Rice with all this misinterpretation and misconstruing of my words and intentions.

NDD, I wasn't worried about surviving personally, just calculating odds of getting the Loctite to you. Yes I noticed someone didn't spell my name right and furthered a comment about one of the most difficult knives I've ever made...hmmm.

LOL

I posted that before I even saw your post. I know Bill Harsey understands my intentions and if not, I am more than willing and capable to prove myself to him by eating a few ashtrays full of ashes with a shot of beer. LOL

Oh no!

I wonder if he has a package screening facility?

If he does, we could always make an office call....

Mr. Harsey, are you offended by our resident dentist?

Sounds like El Maestro has opened negotiations. LOL

Boss, I say we send the Molar Mechanic a Caterpillar Cap and call D9?

Concur on both counts.

Mr. Harsey, is it so difficult that no amount of beer and vulgar entertainment would convince you to try again?

We will travel, for hardware. SF guys love road trips!

I don't need to be building up any "bad dentist " karma here. Might have a tooth or two to be worked on someday. When I'm extra mean I use a Loctite locker for pins and shafts that is harder to undo than Red. This is for my customers who have to undo things just to see what's inside instead of doing any real repair/maintenance work.

No need to get you hands dirty with the riff-raff, Sir.

We can take care of the Dyslexic Dentist while you are sketching out a couple of the Smatchets.

Meet you with the evidence, if you care to see it.

LOL - Don't like home surgery on your works of art?

You guys are killing me. I can see Molar Mechanic with a Smatchet and a screw driver - "DAMN! I went to years of dental school. I'm competent with a handgun! What happened?"

I haven't laughed this hard in DAYS!
