| 395455 | 2005-10-12 20:58:00 | I am moving toward impact-persuasion tools employing sudden sharp and severe shocks imposed when the chuck isn't looking.. Use a 3 pound maul. We used to call it a Birmingham spanner. Shift anything. Also known as a Birmingham Screwdriver. |

| 395457 | 2005-10-12 21:21:00 | I hope we are all invited to the funeral :horrified But of course Ciccy, and naturally my Whanau and I anticipate that you will all bring substantial Koha (make mine a case of Glenfiddich), as befits a celebration of the short life, and sad, somewhat premature passing of a well respected "migrant but indigenous through customary occupation of the land" resident of the Land of the Long White Toolshed . She has been a good friend, and some of her greatest works will be on display for your admiration and enjoyment . I hate to say this because it sounds so stereotyped, but we have come to expect a shorter lifespan from our more recent immigrant brothers and sisters; it's a genetics and lifestyle thing and they just don't stand up to the rigours of modern society like those of past generations . The soon to be departed is blue in hue (we do not say skin-colour any more, it is culturally offensive), but in a multicultural and multiracial society, hue shouldn't matter . Some of her closest friends are green and drink saki . Her skin is doubtlessly a blend of migrant elements from many countries, and genetic analysis will find copious amounts of good old Kiwi DNA, principally around the rough or sharp parts of her chuck (or mating receptacle, if you prefer a more delicate expression) . Apply to your local Social Welfare Office for travel grants and tent hire, and I am currently negotiating for the Rev Tim Taylor to officiate . I hope the Toolman Band will be able to attend and provide accompaniment for the choral segment of the service . It will be an open-toolbox service so that you may all pay your respects, followed by a private farewell and ritual dismemberment in the true Kiwi fashion so that useful body parts may be donated to other needy individuals or sensitively stored for future use . It feels a little unnatural and quite insensitive to speak of the not-yet departed like this, however barring miracles the inevitable will almost certainly come to pass, so there's no use kidding ourselves . It is only a matter of time . Sniff . . . . . . Billy 8-{) :waughh: |

| 395458 | 2005-10-12 21:49:00 | You should have the wherewithall Billy in your electrical workshop to devise an 'electromagnetic forming' device, whereby a very high energy pulse is sent through an appropriate coil wound around the chuck. The resulting magnetic force may well blow the chuck jaws free. | Terry Porritt (14) | ||

The resulting magnetic force may well blow the chuck jaws free . Thanks Terry, you have given me an idea . Although a pulse is unlikely to work, because it would not apply differential energy to the jaws vs the chuck housing, I could use a growler . This is a high energy AC focused-field source, so named because in operation it emits a characteristic growling noise . A similar device, also called a growler for the same reasons was used to check electric motor armatures for shorted turns . As it happens I picked up a compact cassette eraser many years ago at a garage sale and boy can it growl! There is not much ferrous material in a cassette tape but it gets real excited!! I will soak the chuck internals with CRC then prop it on the spindle of the eraser and leave it to enjoy the vibes . Watch this space . . . . . . . . . . Cheers Billy 8-{) :D |

Cheers Billy 8-{) :D Vibrated like mad, and I thought it might do it, but no joy :( Last option prior to full dismantling is freezing to try to shrink the offending sticky bits! I'll give that a go, then if it doesn't work I'll strip her naked on the weekend and get really nasty. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 395463 | 2005-10-14 02:29:00 | I'll bet you havent tried a sonic screw driver, seems to work for Doctor Who. Can I borrow yours please? I'll pay freight. :D Otherwise I'll borrow/steal somebody's light sabre and Vader the damned thing into submission. It's nearly the weekend, dismemberment beckons..... Cheers Billy 8-{) |
