Ok, there really isn't much "machining" in this, mostly welding, grinding, sawing,
but considering the season I figured I'd share it for a laugh.

I was faced with putting up about 200 little metal hooks into the eaves of the house for Christmas lights, which in the cold, on a ladder would amount to blisters and a really bad attitude.

So, make a tool !

It's just a square driver with a wood slotted insert you put the hook into so you can one-handed screw the little buggars in!

Don't tell my nemissus about this, or she'll be wanting lights all over the house !!
 
Wish I wuda thunk of that.
 
Great idea ! One handed .....................so you could also be doing this ? :beer bottles:
