Astounding vol. 24, no. 5 (January 1940)

Not familiar enough with factories/foundries/engineering plants to know if this is even science fiction, frankly. Beamy thing is sploding, good luck with that.

Spouse just asked me add toothpicks to the shopping list and that reminded me of a quick tip that could help you out of a jam one day

If you've got a wood screw that's stripped out its hole and won't tighten up anymore, you can put some wood glue on a toothpick, jam that in and trim off the end and you'll have a reinvigorated hole that the screw can bite into again

This is an old pinball repair trick that carries over into non-pinball life. One time I had a couple mates over and we were gonna watch a spooky movie, we put the kiddo to bed and as I was closing her bedroom door it just, fell off the top hinge in my hands haha

Stood there holding the door on one hinge all 🦝 honey can you go grab me a couple things lol

Didn't let it hold up our plans, just pulled the door, stuffed the holes full of toothpicks and wood glue, screwed it all back up and went on with the evening, took maybe five minutes and years later it's still holding just fine
