Whiskey and Dremel don't mix!

[Maverick299]

Have you ever noticed that the great idea's your whiskey filled brain creates should wait until you sober up to try?

Anyways, I decided that I was going make my Case peanut into a long pull. A skilled grinder I am not and all I had handy at the moment was a dremel with a grinding wheel. They aren't the cleanest or prettiest grinds, but I can say the blades; especially the pen blade, are much easier to open now.

Than my alcohol clouded brain decided I was going to round off the top of the clip blade. To be honest that blade always bothered my with it's geometry and thought they should be rounded off from the factory. I am not disappointed at all with how that turned out. It feels so much better in the pocket and in my hand now.

Oh well, live and learn. At least I didn't completely ruin anything and I can live with the outcome. Which is more than I can say for many of my drunken ideas!

I do not condone the use of any power tools while intoxicated. Gloves and safety glasses were worn and there was an emergency shot of whiskey standing by incase of injury.

I also had to deepen and lengthen the nail nicks on my Queen barlow. Also used a dremel (sober , but it came
out about the same as this and is quite useable.
