   I have made tools for jobs faster than going to the store to buy one,   
   and I have made parts on an evening or a weekend when I couldn't buy   
   them and still finish the job today.   
      
   -------------------------------   
   I usually make tools I can't buy, like a box wrench in two bolt-together   
   halves that reshapes and loosens a stubborn brake line flare nut. The rock   
   drill rod part adapts an HF jack spreader bar to my Viking floor jack. The   
   flat bottomed gantry track trolley mounts an HF electric hoist. I machined a   
   50mm Allen wrench with a center hole for a 19mm socket about a month before   
   seeing them available on-line. It loosens the flywheel nut on my Honda.

   I was making things before I could read and longed for the proper machine   
   tools to make them from steel instead of wood. At maybe 7 or 8 I first saw a   
   metal lathe, winding armor wire onto submarine cable, and knew I'd have one   
   some day.
