Any mechanical engineer / toolmaker / model engineer / horologists here? I want a tool I think exists, but can’t find it. Best guess: Parallel / Pillar screw press.
A tool that holds a screwdriver bit perfectly parallel to a screw head, with threaded adjuster. Looks like a mini drill press. 1/2

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

Some of us may recall jumping on some bargain Ilford Cine film which had been respooled. I got 20 rolls in 2 batches.

Some of us then found light leak issues with them (from a dodgy bulk loader it turned out).

I’ve had hit and miss with them. But, looking at the jumble of cans….

Update: we have sold a total of eight books this month. "The books go to their readers, one by one, quickly, slowly, halfway around the world or halfway across the city. There is no supply chain, only the postal network, irregular events, direct sales to bookshops, and local distribution."
It may well be the case that small, independent presses are the lifeblood of literature, and a vital feature of our cultural landscape, providing an essential service in a complex ecosystem, like wrasses or shrimps. What is undeniably the case is that we have sold a total of five books this month.

I blame @laurenswillis.bsky.social
