Paul had a dead blow hammer with a loose fitting of the handle.
To fix a hammer with a loose head, remove the handle, drill a few small holes in the wood of the part of the handle that fits inside the business end, apply Chair Doctor glue, which swells the wood, and drive the handle back in place.
Leo demonstrated a way to line the post up and get the center and then use a square block with a predrilled hole lined up with the top of the post to drill down through the post.
Leo went through the process of Gold leafing again.
Gesso has to be applied in many layers followed by bole and then ochre and once dry, the surface is wet and the gold applied with a guilders brush and burnished in.
In former days mercury was used by guilders to handle gold. As well hatters used it.
Since it was poison, these trades had a short life expectancy.
Hence "Mad as a Hatter"
Sheetrock, the plaster used in drywalling, is very hard once dry.
In measuring substances for mixtures eg epoxies, tilting the container sideways until the fluid level is at the bottom of one end and top of the other end gives you exactly half the volume.
Botttle tilted until fluid level is like in the picture.
