Took the first step towards building my shop

Size comparisons are handy as to relative size. Actual dimensions tougher, as we don't know whether scale is Brassica hirta or Brassica juncea varieties; choices are far wider in referring to bell peppers...

I could have easily said compared to grains of blasting media ranging from gr#1 through gr #3
A couple of the partials were small enough that a few more cycles bouncing around they could have been embedded in the crown of the piston or worse yet slipped between the piston and the cylinder wall the additional labor alone could have cost him more than the tow, and he knows how aggravated I get when someone knows something has gone wrong but elects to ignore it and try to keep going thinking they might save a buck or 2 when there are other options.
