The Strain Sprain Spring Sprang Thang

I must admit that finding things laying around to repurpose in this way is probably a little easier in my garage than most. I take a lot of flack from my wife at times because of my "freelance hardware store" but it really is rewarding when outside the box thinking leads me to one of those boxes of "parts" and a problem gets solved.

I have kind of gained this reputation among friends and family that I can fix about anything. The reality is more hit or miss. If I find I can't fix it I will go ahead and "strip it for parts." Going to the hardware store was a taste of living a life of luxury. Sure I could have found the nuts and bolts around the shop to complete the project but since this antenna is an old inanimate friend of mine I wanted to go that extra mile (to the hardware store) to get the matched set.

As for that Plexi-Glass? Wonderful medium... It is a breeze to work with common woodworking tools but gives that space-age apearence you look for in a 21st century repair job [smiley:;)]
