But it does show pretty good mastery of the angle grinder.

(For Brian's benefit, it shows how to make a DIY "multitool" saw from an
angle grinder. Just using an angle grinder, stick welder, vice, and a
couple of spanners with a little help from a dremel)


I quite like the project, but yeah, ouch! at the abuse of the digital
calipers...


For Brian, the abuse of the callipers was in using them to scratch "cut
here" marks on the work, after using them properly to measure the
appropriate distance. He did this on several occasions. It's as bad as using
a micrometer as a miniature G-clamp ;-)
