anyone here ever stoop to that level? I have, not yet with a torch though.
A few years ago I decided the trit in my Stocker and Yale military lensatic compass wasn't cutting it anymore.
I drove 40+ miles to an Army/Navy store that stocked the new Cammenga compasses. These were $105 compasses at the time.
I didn't like the "brand new" look, so immediately after getting it out into the parking lot, I tossed it onto the floor of my truck for the ride home. I left it there for a week or so, encouraging passengers to not worry about accidentally kicking it. After this time, it was looking "used" so I was now pleased, and into my pack it went.
Anyone ever do this with a new torch? Some things just don't look right when they are "new"
