It happens to all of us. I could write a very depressing novel about some of my less than humorous escapades.

In it's early days, WD-40 ran advertising in hunting magazines claiming "WD-40, Slicker than snot on a doorknob!" The first time I saw the ad I nearly split my sides laughing at that crude remark. It sure endured the brand in MY mind.

Sounds like the maul tweaks were successful. That's the thing I like about steel frame construction. Very workable material. When I only had a power drill and a hacksaw everything seemed like too much work and I hated it. With power hacksaw, MIG, Plasma torch, and milling machine on hand it has become much more friendly for me to work with for home projects.
