I am having a hard time getting the old rod to let loose of the cap. Can you explain the trick about that part or did yours just pop right out? I see the little black ball fitting you mentioned. thanks...

You get know-how from doing.
You try, and if you screw it up, you do it over.
I have made things two and three times before I got it the way I wanted it.
I have no idea how many things I have bought, and then thought it looked like crap, took it off and gave it away, and did something different.

A lot of times, it is not a matter of talent, but a matter of imagination.

If you pull and twist, it will come out of the cap. Sort of lean it to one side as you're doing it, and roll it at the same time.

What the hell are you doing working on it at this time of night?............LOL

Now you need to go shopping tomorrow to find a knife.

Wow, I need to get me a grinder. Great knife I would stab someone to get one, but I have no knife. I hate when that happens. I guess I will need to make one.

Thanks for the great ideas

Nice job! Everytime I come up with an idea of something to make, it's always pretty lame. Nice ideas and nice work!

Matkiwi.........thanks for the compliment on Kimberly, but I hope you read the comment and just didn't look at her picture. She is a pain in the a$$. Pretty women always are. She turned 55 years old,3 days ago (those pictures were taken about 18 months ago when she was 53), and now I have to listen to her bitch about how old she is feeling. I give almost anything to be single again.
