Have I ever told you guys that I have a thing for Fillister head screws.

I had to look up on the web to see what a Fillister head screw was. I had made one several years ago
to replace a damaged one for the gear box cover on my old Monarch lathe. Just for fun, I pawed through
my bolt tray because I had seen it in there previously. Sure enough, there it was and looks to be 1/2x13
threads. I like to use oil change pans to my keep bolts in as it is easy to get a good look at the goods
without dumping out a pail of bolts every time I want one.


Something must have hit it pretty hard to do that to it, maybe a hammer.

I should be working but now I'm going to look up all the different types of screw heads and learn the names.
