In the hinterlands we call that Time for Aluminum.
Maybe a Ryobi lightweight die grinder and a little felt disc?Yesterday I got the cooled off and seasoned Prentiss Wabers #4 stove manifold out of the oven and eventually reassembled it.
The brass tank still needs some more Mothers... Only so much my hands can take with that,,,
Once the target has immersed herself in a sprinkling kiddie pool, the super soaker kind of loses it‘s desired effect. You my friend have unfortunately found your self at the will of your pint sized opponent.Cutting, bending, and welding a custom backrest for someone that wants me to make them a stool but not until later.
For now just the usual stay at home dad stuff
That's essentially a Dremel, and I have several of those.Maybe a Ryobi lightweight die grinder and a little felt disc?
I picked it up refurb, on a whim, in an outlet mall in St Augustine, just after I retired. It's got nothing on my air die grinders for power and speed, but when you want something simple n easy, it's the ticket. I use it almost daily.

If the screen material is aluminum, likely yes. If fiberglass, it's probably painted. Otherwise, just fine.
I’ve used paint stripper on aluminum before, if it’s going to be painted again, it shouldn’t be a problem. It might etch the surface a little, but not to bad.
I think I remember using baking soda? It makes the glue dry almost instantly. Another thing I’ve used with super glue was floss.Having had a moment of clumsiness this AM,
it looks like my work is cut out for me today.
That old mug--over twenty-five years old--was from the first firing of an Anagama kiln I helped build here in the county.
I think it's there on the top shelf.
Anyhow, I'm fairly certain I picked the right glue:
Now I'm trying to figure out the proper material for some filler where chips were lost... if only I had some gold leaf and hide glue, I could do it kintsugi style. Maybe some brass filings and epoxy?
Yes, I recall Baking soda.
That pattern on the lower stub at the cup base looks weird for ceramic.Having had a moment of clumsiness this AM,
That's a "maker's mark" applied with a wooded stamp. Trust me, it's all ceramic. The "soak" temperature of the anagama was around 3K degrees F. Ain't much but ceramic survives that for ten hours.
But it's for sore old hands. Nowhere near the wrassle required for a Dremel.
Klean Strip, the door screen is metal. I started going through the paint supply, can't save this one.
You know you will....
Someday someone will move in to my house and shop, and wonder at all the outlets they do not use. Changing times.Ah! So the break was beyond that
Sorry, I'm not following; how is that smaller/lighter than a Dremel, one of the smallest, lightest, power tools there are?
It's half the diameter and shorter. It's like holding a fat cigar, not a 'heavy' thing that strains the fingers n wrist like a Dremel. What can I say, I'm old weak n broken. Give it time you'll want one, too.
