That's not frankenthreading. It's lateral thinking. :P

Anyhow, now we are on benches, I once restored an oil painting for a guy who made garden furniture. I didn't know what to charge him and he was a mate of a mate so I took a nice bench as payment. Everybody happy. But while I was restoring the painting I had to get a new daylight bulb. It was in an anglepoise thingy so I screwed it in single handed. No help whatsoever and no ladders involved.

So One in this case.

How's that for un-frankenthreading. :clap:

Hi Mike,

Did you know that subjecting aluminium to a solution of caustic soda produces acetylene gas?
