where the heck's my tie gauge!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by FJ and G on Sunday, March 6, 2005 11:27 AM
Made a wooden tie gauge and can't find it.


Looked high:



Looked low:



Looked lower still:



...and there it was, all chewed up by BB the beagle.

Now I'm looking for my tin snips to make my switch stand.

Can't seem to find a darned thing. Tools everywhere.

Man do I need to get organized.

But if I do, it'll only look like this again in 20 minutes.

Whew!!!!
When I first saw the mention of tin snips I thought the beagle was in for real trouble!![xx(]
Sounds like the same problem I have all the time. I was thinking when reading the posts about hourly charges for model building that I, for one, would have to prorate the charges per hour to accomodate the forty minutes per hour I'd have spent thinking and looking for parts and tools. [%-)]

David,
Been There! I have tried to put everything back in a dedicated place after each work session, but it is only when I start tripping over everything will I actually do it.

If BB starts walking funny, you have found your tin snips.[(-D][(-D]
