cross posted in hints and tips
used a small combo square to mark a saddle for my new Bison. I wasn't happy with the rough layout I put on with black.
So redid in red with this method. much more room to mark it accurately.

yep, but it will still work, get over and move on... That's why layout dye and marks help to make sure your not Fing up. But we all do.

The sad part, I did use dykem & marked the hole locations & punched them (in one picture you can see where I didn't get all of the Dykem off of the part). I think I messed up alignment while drilling. You're right, the tool itself is fine, it just looks a little stupid.

Last few months i've made some big changes in my life, that left me with so little time to spare that many of may project just got left to seat. One of the big changed i did is to loose almost 30 Kg in weight. That left me with almost no strength to fix that i started going to the gym everyday but the commute and the time there is leaving me with 1-2 hours of sleep. That may have been enough when i was younger but now i can't function and cause some health issues so to have more time i used every time i have to clear out and finished out one of the spare rooms i have in the big garage, this room has been like a dumpster for all the useful and useless staff and parts sense that house was built. It was filled to the ceiling i started at the door opening and piece by piece started clearing out, some parts got moved to other parts of the garage, other got junked. It's going to be a big task the clear it out by myself and convert it to a gym.

congrats on losing 30kg. I would like to lose that too. But your storage sucks... most of that will never be used, you can't get to it, and will get a new one so throw most of it out. Or find someone who wants what you don't need. Geez...

You'll lose 10kg more just going through that mess. Welcome back.

If it is copper/aluminium/zinc and you don’t want it, melt it and sell it. Just an idea though.

Good for you: I dropped ~35kgs a couple of years ago and never felt better.

@woodchucker is right: you’ll be able to skip a couple of days (at least) while getting a workout shifting all the stuff in the garage.
