RE: Who Dun It?
I have the same gremlins in my shop. They are mind readers, because the know what I am looking for and they hide it so I can't find it. The trick is to look for something else, then you'll find the first thing right away!!!

It's one of these two, isn't it?[sm=sunsmiley.gif]
And a servo screw for Vicman[sm=surprised.gif]
I need that 1/32 ply BAD. I still can't find it. I gotta quit staying up untill 4am.
I get so involved in my projects and I just get lost down here. Time has no meaning when I'm snortin' glue and chewin' on balsa dust.
De Natured Alcohol and Coke? No wonder you can't find it.
The shop gremlins are having a real party at my expense on this one item. Litte turds[>:]

Silly Rabbit, its right there on the bench

I gotta have it today.Thats exactly the size piece I'm looking for. I'm making a baffle in a cowl, and the 1/8" lite ply is too heavy. I gotta have the 1/32" stuff.
I've been crawling around on my hands and knnes. Looking under the shelves. Been climbing on the ladder, looking on top of shelves. Tossed my box-o-balsa 3 times and still can't find it. Been looking in old kit boxes that have scrap lite ply in them.
Darn shop gremlins.[sm=drowning.gif]

I guess, on the bright side, I've found servos, covering, and all sorts of other stuff that I didn't even know I had.
It's definetely time to do some serious organizing. When I start finding boxes with literally HUNDREDS of dollars worth of NIB servos that I didn't even know I had--it's getting serious.
Now if I could just turn up that piece of ply and a couple heavy duty extensions 12" long--I'd be just fine as frog hair--split 3 ways.

I think I'm going to show my wife the pictures of all your shops --- then she will shut up about cleaning up my mess.
By the way I think we cut the ply up into small pieces to repair a students plane, what's left is on the third shelf on the top left side of the right hand lower side of the back wall close to the door. ENJOY !!! RED

1/32 ply? Hmmmm, I was missing a sheet, drove 2hrs to the LHS to get another one, got to talking to another flyer out in the parking lot, and then drove off and upon arriving at home, couldn't find the sheet I just bought.
Thats because I left it on top of the truck while talking to the other flyer.
Then a week later, my wife asked me if I noticed that the refridgerator door was easier to shut and open. I did know that it was uneven and was going to shim it up but never got around to it. Well, she was quite pleased with herself when she showed me that she shimmed the fridge all by herself.
With my missing 1/32 sheet of aircraft grade ply.[>:]

RE: Who Dun It?
I've got that beat. I was doing a repair on a wing and when I went to cover the repair I couldn't find my heat gun. I turned my shop upside down. I took out every box, looked everywhere but I couldn't find it. I looked for 4 hours straight and was really pissed. What makes it so bad is the the closest LHS is at least 45 minutes away. Luckily I remembered that a buddy of mine was in Oklahoma City so I called him on his cell and had him pick me up a new one. As soon as I got it from him I headed for my shop, (and this next part is no lie) as soon as I walked into my shop I stopped dead in my tracks looked at the door and suddenly remembered that I had just put in a new pegboard behind the door to store parts and tools on. Closed the shop door and low and behold, yep you guessed it, there was my old heat gun hanging there!!!!!
It really stinks now when I forget dumb things like that. I actually have a photographic memory, I just keep forgetting to put film in the camera!!!!!
The good thing is that I now have another spare heat gun, the bad thing was the time wasted looking for the darn thing!!
