<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chip, post: 1310516, member: 19122&quot;]This discussion reminds me of something that happened at work once. The shop hired a kid to learn to operate some of the machines. Don, the old hand went out of his way to help the kid out. Don, with over 40 years experience was a whiz with machines, he always kept his tools nice and clean, and well organized.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well the kid was operating the drill press, and went and asked Don if he could use his micrometer. Don hates to lend out tools, he always bought the best and took good care of them, but he breaks his rule and loans his kid his Micrometer, but tells him he needs it back in a little while.</p><p><br /></p><p>An hour goes by and the kid does not return his micrometer, so he goes and finds the kid and asks for his micrometer back, the kid says sure it was not working that good anyway, and there the kid had the micrometer on the press, using it like a C- clamp.</p><p><br /></p><p>The thing is in the shops often times things are not done as consistently right as they should be, and I could see some new kid using a wire brush and scratching a coining die up pretty good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
