Today someone brought to me a toddler's car that was rescued from the dump to be fixed. (I am now the resident MrFixit for repairing anything in our Buy Nothing Project group.) One rear wheel was off, missing its axle and an end bushing.
I managed to print a new bushing on my 3D printer with no problem.
But I needed to find a replacement for the missing 5/16" axle.
For whatever reason, I had never thrown away this 5/16" bolt that came with no thread. I found it in my jar of 5/16" bolts, of course.
That's one more good reason why I never throw anything away!
