You're welcome.......... I think?
I shouldn't have. . . but I did. You got me thinking, so I looked over at my boom stand and my eyes fixed upon a plastic wingnut at the boom pivot/swivel point. Now I'm thinking "Hmmm.. I wonder what thread that is". So up I go and start backing the wingnut off to see what threads the bolt has. Well, by the time it's backed off enough to get a glimpse of the bolt, it drops off into my hand and the whole pivot section flies apart as if it was spring loaded and falls on the floor. Now I've got 7 pieces of this thing, 8 counting the boom arm itself, laying all over the place and I have no idea how to reassemble it. Then a second later the boom arm, with nothing holding it in place, slowly drops to the floor - on my bare foot.
Things are going well.
To my complete amazement, I actually figured out how to reassemble this thing, but wasn't sure I had enough hands to hold it together while I reattached the wingnut. Somehow, it all came together and it's now back to it's original form.
The End
Omgggggggg! So sorry that I was the catalyst for all of that!
