vicrider 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2022 This is just something I do when I'm doing cleaning, which is never been as thorough as yours but may be that way soon. It's needed. When I vacuum with my little 2hp mini-shop vac I take the end of the nozzle and tightly rubber band a sheet of organza or something on that order. Fine but breathable. Then as I vac and it starts to sound plugged I lift it, shut it off and check the end of the vac for flies, beads, wires, etc. Have run across flies I've long given up on and it's the only way to get the brass beads. Some, not all of the tungsten are decently magnetic but they all stick to the shield on the vac. Hope the health reasons aren't COPD like I'm dealing with. It's no fun and can see how drifting fluff can be a problem I haven't really considered yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vicrider 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2022 Now there's a picture that sends me after the eye drops. Ouch. As much as I used to enjoy tying down to 32s and did a lot of 24 and 26 between hands just no steady as they used to be and need of stronger glasses I'm kind of limiting myself to 18 and bigger these days.
