Okey, I admit it. I am terrible housekeeper. And my shop is cluttered, including the attic. And I swear that when I drop something it has in its mind to go hide. Almost everything that hits the floor temporarily disappears. Just last night I was hogging out waste with a Forstner bit jn the drill press prior to putting the chisels to work squaring the corners on a board. I stopped and changed bits, setting a 1 1/2" bit aside on the drill press table to use a smaller bit. Turned out to be a mistake as I soon heard the 1 1/2" bit clatter as it was knocked off. Not hard to find something that big, right? So I finished what I was doing on the drill press and began looking for the dropped bit. Couldn't spot it anywhere. Went through two boxes of odds and ends, no bit. Looked and looked for half an hour and missed almost the first quarter of the football game. So I gave up reluctantly (I become obsessed with finding lost stuff. Why is it always in the last place I look?). Anyway after the game I went back to the shop for something else and began looking again. Soon I found it. Can you spot it?
I actually had raised the handle on the metal band saw earlier in my search without seeing it.
