I always have a ball of cotton string, or at least an old broken stick or broom or mop handle with about 150' or so on it.
I keep so much little crap and scraps, I could come up with something for just about any use.
I keep any type of little metal things I see on the ground when going into a store or parking lot, the wife knows this, so she brings me bolts, nuts and screws too.
Last month she brought me what she thought was a bearing race, that I could probably use as a spacer. It actually was a men's TRITON tungsten carbide ring with a silver filling.... not worth much, but it fits my right hand pinky finger and replaces the spacer I used to wear there (until I used it for a real spacer).
Anyway, I've always said "beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and if i'm holding it, driving it, or made it, it's a beauty!"
