My old foreman taught me to use a scrap 2x4 as a third hand. You can wedge one end under something heavy and lean the other end on the loose board. It's basically a free clamp and it leaves both your hands free to work.

My buddy's shop ran a cheap filter for a year and still had to flush the whole system twice.

Oh man, that is SO real. I was making a leather wallet and the card slots were basically unusable because I stitched it with the leather damp. It shrank as it dried and everything was just locked up tight. Felt like a total rookie move, you just forget how much materials change.

Seth's right, but that story cost a new cooler too.

Man, that's rough, but those disputes can actually help even if they come back.
