Whenever I go to the hardware for stuff like that or plumbing fittings, if I
need one I buy three or four. We live too far out to make all those trips.
Sometimes finding the little parts I KNOW I have somewhere in the shop takes
longer than the trip to town, though. I also take apart the devices and
appliances that break around the house and salvage switches, transformers,
pulleys, belts and especially bolts and nuts and motors. I really enjoy it
when my youngest son gets a science project and we can rummage all the parts
from under the workbench.
