- Nothing disrespectful! In the USN, sailors would often confine their ink just below their wrist as it would not show when wearing their uniform as it was against regs to have your tattoos showing. Technically, tattoos were against regs (but clearly, that didn’t keep sailors from getting them!) Just my experience. Others may know/have different knowledge. I served in the surface Navy but had a lot of colleagues with creative ink. No hand tools that I remember but lots of creativity!

Gordon, as the Sargent VBM 722 Autoset plane owner, thank you so much for the amazing work. As far as your work at color matching, the final shot almost doesn't do it justice. Even my wife, who couldn't care less about tools, was appreciative. @timothymallon, thanks for the advice. This won't be a user, as I can tell how structurally vulnerable that pivoting handle is, but I have to say, the System Three epoxy really makes this feel stronger than the original wood handle was. Still, point well taken and I won't be cranking down on this at all.

Thanks for watching! The polyurethane sheet is one of my favorite “must have” accessories for tote repair. It’s impervious to a knife stab and veeeery difficulty to cut. This of course makes it an awesome benchtop material, and I protect my parts by making a “urethane taco”. (It’s in almost every video if you look for it) So how do you buy polyurethane sheet? If you Google it you will find that urethane is classified by Shore Hardness (scale) and Durometer (softness or pliability). I’m using a Shore A, 40 Durometer urethane. Whew, that’s a lot. 😊
