Sometimes things that you use to build your pike come in handy in the oddest ways. I’ve just finished fixing a coat tree that was knocked over, breaking out one of the slots that hold the legs in place. I needed some small brads to secure the splits while the glue dried, and was about to go searching a hardware store. Then the solution was found on my workbench: Atlas track nails. These little round head brads were the perfect size. Long enough to hold firmly and thin enough to avoid splitting the thin splits. Six of them did the job perfectly.
Ya never know what you may find on the ole workbench.
That’s awesome Dale. During the holidays my wife discovered our old crockpot had one broken foot. She didn’t have any glue to fix it, but of course I had some that worked perfectly. I tell people all the time that model railroading builds skills, one of those being ingenuity.
