I fix it with zip ties. yup, nobody does work on my own car as carefully as me I say, as I waste another weekend taking three times as long to do a job as someone with training and all of the proper tools

Wound up getting a replacement from a hardware store and finished the job but it was more than a month ago and that missing screw never turned up, all I know is that it didn't fall into the engine

I wish it could be different but it's not up to me at least a screw you have a chance of retrieving with the ol magnet on a stick, depending on the material

the weird thing is that wood power tools are almost universally awful, huge noisy dust generators so i've mostly stuck to hand tools because its supposed to be relaxing and fun. Which means its relaxing and fun, but i take a long time to actually make things.

planers i also tolerate because while they are indeed loud as hell they actually dont generate a ton of dust, mostly just a tidy pile of shavings, and they save a TON of time and effort planing to thickness

please do not remove the guards, anti-kickback protections, or other safety mechanisms from your tools. drill press u gotta be super careful to make sure your work piece is clamped down cause if the bit catches that piece is gonna blast anything in its radius.
