I bought a pair of these when I was Chief Engineer. I had some 24" main steam lines and they were handy. Is a "slip blind" the same thing that we call a frying pan? We use them for block and bleed lockout safety. I used to do a lockout tag out seminar for the Department of Labor inspectors to observe. We always gave them an impressive demonstration.

I always preferred wedges, where possible, to spread flanges. Keep them apart. And if putting in or pulling slip blinds it makes for easy in and out.

I had a new Fireman go to the HVACR shop to get a Machinist's Mate punch.... The head HVACR technician was a MM2 and gave him one. The kid is now a Chief Engineer and doing great.
We had a Snipe on my ship forgot what rating and he was a monster. When guys got their crows he had a full list of crew who needed it tacked on. He got so much happiness to hunt each one down and make sure it would stick. The new petty officers weren't so pleased but still reminded of it for over a week, including myself.

As a scout, i "invented" the solar powered flashlight, never recall running across anybody who knew of it before i told them about it.
Its a common scout pocket mirror.

I don't think scouts carry things like that anymore unless it's to fix their makeup.

I was informed that scouts aren't allowed to have pocket knives anymore. And heaven forbid they learn any useful outdoor skills like tracking, trapping or shelter building.

Even back then they were mostly used to harass fellow scouts and other wild animals from a distance.

kludge? Would you mind letting me in on it?
Old computertech word for making up a working thing from things you were told wouldnt work; a working prototype of the likes nobody has ever seen, ever thought of, nor would believe could be done. A bit vague, but in the spirit of "im making it up as i go!" A techie version of oh, yeah? Hold my beer!

I have a drawer full of custom(ized) tools. Work on vehicles for 60 years and that tends to happen.
I am going to make a search of my books. Somewhere I have one on saddlemaking. Goes into detail on tools and techniques of blind stitching (not sure of the correct term)
where you stitch pieces together with no stitches visible when done. THAT blows my mind.
