At this point, College is not going as well as I would like it to. My learning is mostly in my own workshop. As sad as that is, I have learned a new skill, recently. It is well known, to garden tool engineers, that replacing a pull-cord and spring, is not the nicest of jobs. I have dabbled with the, for some time, and got nowhere. In the last week, I have successfully changed, two!
I can even re-coil them, if they slip. It is so satisfying, when you learn a new skill. I just hoped that it would have been taught to me in class! Granted, I have made the mower’s cord, a little short, but the sling is in full service! The next job is to get the Makita brush-cutter, working. The refreshed spring is ready, with all that’s needed is a new ‘shallow’ nut for the shaft-end, and a proper blade for the end. Learning is fun!
