I've never done this, but if you need something really pointed how about bamboo skewers? They come in different lengths. The longer ones are pointed on both ends so you could cut them to the length you need and get two from each one. At 04:48 PM 11/12/2008, you wrote: >Hmmm, > >Does golf teas

Dear Kevin: If you want to go the rout of making your own, then find yourself a block of red cedar and with a knife or saw, cut it in to strips which are then cut to the desired length and sharpened on one end. Finding golf tees would be easier, but there is a certain amount of satisfaction

Just a suggestion since I don't really know about a source for those pegs. How about you buy a length of dowel say 3/16 or so and cut it in lengths and sharpen an end of each with a pencil sharpener. Might need a few thicker. - Original Message - From: Kevin Doucet To: blindhand

I haven't looked at one in a good while. But almost all headlights are changed from the back side now. There is the plastic lens across the front and then the bulb either unplugs or unscrews from the back side. As these are halogen or some exotic compound now you have to be extra careful to
