Peter, about looking in your supply closet before going out to buy, smart move. My maternal grandfather was notorious for looking for tools, nails, screws or anything under the sun but not finding what he needed. So, a trip to the hardware store he come back with a bag of what he needed, only to find more of what he bought some time ago. I can remember my uncle looking for something a number of times just like his father, stumbling upon a tool that was needed the time before. After we moved my grandfather and his stuff, there was countless amounts of nails, screws, nuts, bolts and any other thing you couldn't even possibly think of. I don't know how many times I've ventured out to the shed and found something I could use for a project within a couple of minutes. Unfortunately there is a good number of things that will never be used just because there is no practical application I'd need them for.
