The New Hotness

A screws in one of Mary’s eyeglasses unscrewed itself, but, miraculously, we found it and I retired to the shop.

Because the glasses have spring temples, the screw would not align no matter what force I applied to it:

So I just embiggened the hole until the available force did the trick:

Dots of Loctite worked into the threads should prevent that from happening again, but I’ve learned to never say never.

In retrospect, the temple pivots have an exposed slot that I think would allow jamming a block in place after pulling the spring-loaded pivot outward. Temple springs are impossibly stiff and I have previously failed to budge them in glasses without the slots, so I don’t know how well that might work.

Verily: If brute force isn’t working for you, then you’re not using enough of it.
