order is coming to #realraum's machine shack room (in tiny increments :-D )
The usual chaos of screws where nobody can find anything, is in the process of being replaced with a well labeled assortment and some gridfinity boxes, sized to fit the drawer.
Oh! I forgot one thing. (And I ran out of characters...)
Like last month's cafe, I got another toaster that the manufacturer insists has VERY SPECIAL SECRET SAUCE in it, because the case is held together with more "security screws". This time, rather than "security" Torx they were the triangular (not Y or trilobe) screw heads.
Jeebus, people. It's a toaster. You don't need to act like it's 1942 and it's a new highly accurate bombsight or something else that you can't afford to have fall into the enemy's hands.
Screws look beautiful and I like to make them visible in products, but I have to admit that those hidden ones have some style too! It's based on a spring loaded mechanism and were invented by Jeff and Brandon Serle, who are cleanroom engineers.
