Okay, so I'm helping my brother-in-law with prototyping a harmonica holder. He has a duo and a 4-piece band, and he's working with a small company that makes instruments and related stuff. Anyway, I'm looking for a small, lockable bracket, the kind that pivots around a central shaft and has...

:rolleyes2:rolleyes2 When ranked by infant mortality rates, Portugal is 11 slots higher than the U.S., according to the United Nations. If you don't trust them, they're 16 slots higher according to the CIA factbook. Not exactly the third-world you seem to think it is, although I will admit...

Where did you get your certification? I'm getting older and crankier by the day, but as an uncertified dinosaur I feel I'm losing street cred. Do I have to take a test? :D

Been there, done that. My latest bit of stupidity was putting a little rope lanyard on a friend's topper window. She's short, and can't reach it well when it's up. So I spliced it together, made a nice loop, etc. Then, to finish it off, I used my propane torch to light the tag ends of the...
