Chiro75 this is directed your way...

A long time ago (before that Bohemian alchemist ever dreamed up the theory of relativity) gunsmiths knew all about the relationships between time and space.

When a small part in the shop drops off your bench it begins to accelerate so quickly that it drops out of this space/time continuim and moves into the next dimension. I have experienced this many times with the ejector springs of Ruger Mini 14's and never cease to be amazed at the incrediable velocity achieved almost instantaneously.

Time (being the linear thing that we hope that it is) goes on and eventually the small part/spring slows enough to actually drop back into this reality once again. The bits are usually slightly warm to the touch and feel odd for the first few minutes but your usually so happy to find the little ******* that you don't notice right away.

The next time that you have this experience take note of the general direction and apparent flight path of the projectile and have patience...time will prevail, eventually.

All the Best

That explains the sock thing to I believe. But what about cash? I never seem to see any of it coming back through the portal.

but it has nothing to do with what you guys are talking about....the truth is....all the metal ions that come off the metal when you grind cause this big field to set up around you and eventually there forms a black hole in your shop...you cant see it...but its there...and whenever anything drops off your bench that is lighter than a few ounces...it gets sucked into the black hole and disappears forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry Tom, but I have to disagree. It has to do with what everyone seems to call "light bulbs". These are in fact not light bulbs ie. produce light, they are dark suckers. That is why it is the brightest right at the bulb. That is where it's dark sucking ability is the greatest. You will often notice that it is dark in the corners and under things far away from the dark suckers, because they can not suck dark from that distance or around some corners. This is also why they stop working. The dark suckers eventually suck up their limits of dark and become full and stop working. Much like a vacuum with a full bag stops working. Anyway, when you drop something it is influenced by the pull of these dark suckers and it momentarily alters the course from which it orginally came. That is why they end up somewhere other than expected.

If you use the terry cloth space cover (shop towel) to cover your mini14 springie thingie
on your linear projectile lead eating machine you will retain the main tension system while you extract. This is the good reason to stop the time waisted looking for the main tension system.

actually...darkness flees from the light.. but back to the original question....the solution is to have a zillion of everything so when you drop it you dont even have to hesitate...just pick up another one and keep on going

Ahh, but what you really need is to build yourself a super grabomatic nuclear electromagnetron to sit in the middle of your shop floor. It needs to have a pull about equal to 3 times the pull of the earths orbit. Then all you do is turn it on once a week and all the little metal parts that have been sucked up by the dark suckers, black holes, and or other dimensions of time and space will be drawn back to the grabomatic nuclear electromagnetron for you to pick up at your leisure. Oh yeah, due to the amount of force needed to draw the parts out of the dark suckers, black holes, and unknown dimensions, once the parts are released back to our world they will be moving at an alarming rate of speed to the grabomatic, so you may want to have the switch on the outside of your shop, where you can safely wait for your peices and parts to be returned

And it would probably be worthwhile to bolt down any and all tools kept in the shop

If you are loosing parts to a gun or knife you may have a liberal(black hole) hiding under your bench collecting these parts to rid the world of all of those instruments of destruction.
Or
as soon as you order a new one you will suddenly find the original piece.

So just order a new one and call an exterminator to spray under your bench.
