"IF" you have access to the inside of the bumper area, place a small deflated dollar store kids ball behind the damage area. Inflate the ball with a hand pump slowly. Use a heat gun carefully on the outside to soften the plastic bumper. Keep inflating little by little. In a short period of time, the crushed area looks nearly new. check out Youtube on how to color match and repaint/color-stain the plastic bumper again. Nice write up on this instructable too.

Yep. Got the Black and Decker LCS120 Lithium Ion Cordless Battery Operated 20V Chainsaw. Very low noise. Less than the cordless weed-whacker. It has a 10-in blade, but my old corded Polluan Pro electric 14-in fits on it too. Thus, I can go cordless with 14-in. The larger battery works well if you got lots to cut, else the 2.0A battery(ies) would work too. I'm not at all impressed with gas chainsaws. more time fixing them than anything else.

If you can clamp down the spring end to the transmitter into a frame and the other end to a mechanical adjuster, one can adjust the frequency like one of those old Health Kit Ham radios. A spring is perfect for an FM transmitter. For improved range, a 5/8 length antenna would really help. Copper or aluminum would be best for the spring being an antenna. Steel would work alright, but not for the small transmitter. Nice to see your instructions have a copper alloy spring. Years ago, I picked up one of those spy like camera and mic ink pens. It charges the battery via USB. It will hold a total of 3 30 second movies at low 640 resolution. It's more of a gimmick device. Nice to see your work for the mic in a FM transmitter.

SWEET. Got an idea now to mount the same tool boxes onto a John Deere! Of course I have to paint the brackets JD green. ;)

There is an easier way to get the answers faster than the extra complexity shown here. Each finger also has joints (knuckles). There is a knuckle math learning program out there too. It's very easy to learn and quick to get the answer. Even special needs children with slow learning pick it up because many already make a trying attempt by counting with their fingers in the first place.

Excellent write up and plenty of useful information. With that said, indeed improvements to the inlet/outlet are needed. The saying of heat rises is a must here. Thus your 12VDC fan may or may not be needed. Great that you have gone the extra steps towards keeping the collect box insulated. In the winter, that is a requirement. This is a good instrucatable to learn from and improve upon. Not to many people will see that here. Thanks for your efforts to document your hard work. It will inspire others!

Nice. After reading about this problem on different vehicles and makes, making one of these tools is a must. So I did. NOTE: When placing a new C.O.P. boot onto the plug, use dielectric grease to prevent this from happening on the next plug change go around.
