DPR - Dreaded Prior Repair I have several eggbeater drills that I use regularly. I call them my cordless, reversible, adjustable torque, instant stop, and never need recharging drills.
@@byhammerandhand l find the eggbeater drill to be very handy, especially for shallow holes such as when setting hinges. Easy to center and won't go too deep.
You missed a perfect opportunity to describe your clothespin as a nonmarring lamp pipe clamp. Fun fact: clothespin in Finnish is pyykkipoika, which literally translates to "laundry boy".
@@onzie9 Now that is interesting. Every language uses metaphors that can't be literally translated. The reason English speakers "turn" on a lamp comes from early oil lamps that had a wick that was adjusted by turning a stem. I had a Malaysian friend ask me to "open" a light. This probably goes back to when one opened a window shutter to let in light.
Love the new to me custom lamp tool (clothespin) Great work, very informative My question is, when did lamp sockets' casings start having a set screw ? As i have 2 lamps from 50s to early 70s, Tia
@@larusantonsson2999 Thank you very much. The set screw is probably as old as light sockets. It's an extra expense, so it shows up on higher end lamps. I prefer them because I like to lock the saddle in place with a nut under and above. The common socket shell can be snapped together with the top in any position, but the socket I use locks together in one place. I screw it down to face forward and the set screw holds it in place, without having to tighten against the saddle.
More great information and another useful fixture idea. Thanks
@@chuckfisher2106 Thank you very much.
Nice video. Reminds us of the proper application of power tools and when hand operated is better.
@@Rusty_ok Thank you. Working with damaged ceramics and glass is the most stressful kind of work.
The clothspin tip is a definite keeper. Putting a couple in my tool tray tomorrow. Thanks
@@kathybelk1333 You are very welcome. I have a drawer full of clothes pins within arms reach of the light bench.
nice repair on a previously resurrected lamp
@@johnmolnar2957 Thank you very much.
