Re: Mechanical/Electrical Off-Season Projects

-9:00 a.m. - bought a breast drill at garage sale for $3

-10:00 a.m. - oiled every moving part to try to release rusted parts (not expected to work.)

-10:30 a.m. - cut and built a spit for outdoor barbecue for dinner tonight (made dad happy)

-3:00 p.m.- begin working on dissasembly of drill (oil worked), and discover many cool things about it:
- two speeds (1:1 and 3:1)
- spirit level
- push-button release for gears
- 3 handle settings
- ball bearings with nuts to take up wear

An excellent tool that will serve for many more years in my garage. Very good deal for what I paid originally!
