Taking apart my knife myself: yes or no?

[000Robert]

I use a work mat for taking guns apart.
It a ridge to prevent roll off and small square areas to put screws and small parts.
It works for me.

I use a stainless steel cookie sheet. That way I can clean and oil the parts in it and not worry about the mess.

Whenever I take something apart for the first time I take photos of at each step so I can see where and how everything goes.

It has also been my experience that it's good to take photos from different angles.

I hope you don't use your wife's favourite cookie sheet, could be deadly...

Nope, I'm single. I have a large one and smaller one and they are only used for cleaning and oiling steel parts.

Those little magnetic bowls you get at the auto parts store are the shit for tiny screws and springs and such.

You know, the more I think about cookie sheets, the better I like it. Now I'll have to steal one of my wife's finest...

I bought my set from Amazon. You don't have to steal hers.
