is it flexible enough for long lasting joinery in wood?     CA's brittleness has
long been an issue with wood and wood movement.


  
Hi Guys
   The model people, airplanes and cars and such, prefer 5 minute epoxy.
The 5 minute is the most flexible of the epoxy resins. Its very popular.
   Speaking of which.
I went into Al's Toy and Hobby yesterday. I like getting fresh CA from the
closest place that sells the most.
  I buy the smallest bottles, by the pair.   Lasts longest for me that way.

  He had a remote control helicopter, barely bigger than a silver dollar. And it
worked.
Fully functional, barely 2" across.
  35 bucks, with the tiny controller, out the door! wow!

  Yes, I was privileged to go to fabulous downtown Dreadford Oregon yesterday.
I had to see the cardiologist.
   In keeping with my new policy of "standard doctor bribery"..........
This time I brought a wooden stethoscope.
   I turned a wooden steth from local tan oak, and played with it until it
seemed to work well enough.
  Classic 7" wooden stethoscope. Essential doctor tool for about 4 or 500 years.
  
   I was surprised that not one person I encountered in Southern Oregon
Cardiology, a crew of about 15 surgeons and a support staff 4 times that size,
top cardiology crew of the area, by far.........
not one single person I saw knew what they were looking at, at first glance!
   I didn't see them all, or even close, but I saw a lot of people.
  
    Cardiologists! You would think at least a few of them would know what a damn
stethoscope was!
holy crap
   They all live with one around their neck morning to night, and use it 188
times day!
Its only the indispensable tool of the whole damn trade.
  
   Some education they give doctors! 8 years of college and residency and all
that, they don't say one word about their own history??  If you don't know your
past you will be doomed to repeat it.

  I made my own doc use it on me at least, and he was pretty impressed by its
performance. I expect every doctor in the program to try it out.


  I also got as 14" Disston backsaw from the Habitat store, for a buck. Looks
like 1920-30's production.
Good blade with a saveable etch, and who cares about the handle.
  My only old tool purchase of the trip, but at least I could get an actual old
tool into the story.

   Oh my truck steering went out on the way home. Bad uncontrollable out.
Well it was raining like hell, so I just drove over high mountain passes and
around hairpin turns with 600 foot drops if you lose it,......... just drove it
on home through a fierce howling storm anyway.
      
   Country comfort's any truck that's goin home.

        yours Scott
