Wonderful! Feel free to take and share some pics while there.

That’s a fantastic thread.

Great tips everyone, thank you! To answer some questions, the top screw is easily removed, but that doesn’t really give much play to the pocket clip. The stuck screw is not accessible from the other side. I’ve tried the rubber band method without much success. I think this was partly due to the size...

I had a look at his new store and it is quite comprehensive and not as expensive as I would have thought. This might make the first statement of this post too real :lol: I was impressed with the curated tool sets. Those sets and his smooth, even-keeled voice narrating his terribly informative video...

Really?! I have one of those cars unopened in a box. It was a gift to my son from my parents. I might need to look into flipping it on eBay for him!

This one is a tiny T6. One tip suggested using a little steel wool in the head to help create some bite, but ...

No watches nor any particular gifts on the Christmas horizon this year. I’ve reached that age where I’m running out of things to ask for! We did manage to find two small things that my wife and mother-in-law picked up for me while visiting over Thanksgiving. My wife has known I’ve always admired old...

Thank you!

I fast forward through parts, although this is a challenge because his narration is part of what makes his videos so good.

This guy’s restoration videos are fantastic. On the table today, a 1958 Rolex GMT!

More than half my storage is music for offline listening. I should dump some of the pics; more than a few CW pics I’ve already shared. :p Ahh, I get it. Luckily, I rarely have a need for that and will download for the few occasions I do then delete. Photos have been my bogey man. I’ve started editi...

Happy birthday, Guy! I hope you have a wonderful day.

No room to run an update? I’m a fanatic about storage management.

@jkbarnes Thanks Drew, I’m using the same phone, too. Think I’ll chance my arm. As usual there’s a lot of patches and security updates as well. It’s important to keep current with that stuff. Des I’ll add that I’ve experienced no issues with performance, either feeling snappier or slower, and no ba...
