This weekend’s project is a recovery from a recent mistake, as Adam has to undo a his first attempt at cleaning his set of micrometer screw gauges in which he used too much oil! Fixing that screw up is going to require taking all of these pieces apart, soak them in some wd-40, reapply the correct amount of machine oil, and then testing their precision. Grab a chair and a snack and hang out in the cave for this satisfying process!
