Inaccessible Let-off Screws

[Richard Brekne]

Welding rod.... grinded down to the appropriate thickness. Fashion a nice handle
out of select hardwoods, inlayed with some of that left over ivory tops you have
laying around from that old english overdamper you ripped apart last year.

Works great, looks impressive, and can double as a pointer for your first
convention class
