Default So so day in the shop

I had the midas touch over the weekend. Only it wasn't gold.

Broke four endmills in the CNC mill, on two different parts. Broke the
little hold down clamp on an insert holder. The little combination right and
left hand bolt broke in two. Took an hour to get the remaining part out. No
spares - SURE I've got one someplace. Broke a key off in a lock leaving the
rest of the key inside. Took half an hour to pick it out. The water cooler
on the TIG sprung a serious leak. The high pressure washer won't build
pressure.
