• Using a handheld screwdriver in tight spaces can be very frustrating, especially when there isn’t enough room to hold the screw in place with your free hand.
• The solution: magnetize a screwdriver. Attach a small magnet to the shaft of your screwdriver. The magnetic magic will travel through the metal of the screwdriver, down to the business end, holding the screw right where you need it—with no hands.
• This trick works with other tools, too. Magnetize the head of a hammer to hold a nail, add a magnet to the metal bit in a power drill/driver to hold a screw……you get the idea.

• Events for 2021

• MMS to participate in the Bay View Gallery night on Friday, June 25th. Need members to help with set up, tear down and to give tours to visitors. Also a great spot to sell your projects. There is a sign up sheet on the WIKI.

• A number of members have shared: “when you are doing something for the first time you take the time to plan and when you execute, you are vigilant, very careful, and not in a hurry.
• You tend to be less safe when you are performing a repetitive task. You are less likely to focus on the details on #20 than you did on #1.
• Realize this when doing any repetitive task. Stay vigilant, don't hurry.

• Many thanks to members that take out the garbage, sawdust, metal shavings, etc.
• Even more thanks to those that put it in the correct dumpster.
