1. That is spectacular.
I do not think I would have the guts to do that. I would massacre the pear and it would go everywhere.

6. He's given me so much courage to futz around...
I now use a butterfly net instead of cheese cloth, I often use utility knives for fine work; and I have been known to use my dremel on some things that were stubborn, like coconuts.

It cracked the concrete, though.

10. Ooooooo.

I think I'll stick to power tools... not having a fourth floor to throw anything from (though believe me, I've wished for one occasionally...)
