Code Cylinders

If arts and crafts were a graded subject I'd fail the crafts portion.  When I was a kid I drew some amazing horses, I thought they were awful at the time, but when I found one of my old artbooks I realized gosh I was actually good for my age.
But crafts not so much.
I have no qualms about buying things from people who make things.  I'm a big fan of etsy and I'm a bigger fan of people who make my life easier.
Can I sew, yes.  I actually got half decent, but now I'm way too busy and patterns are too much like puzzle and I fail at puzzles too.  Something is wrong with my brain in that department.
The code cylinders are the only thing I can't seem to buy with ease.  I was on the Imperial Forum a few months ago and I was reading one of the posts on the cylinders.  I wasn't reading very well because someone goes, "These are perfect!"  So I grabbed a few.  I'm not sure I think maybe just two.  When I got the package in I'm like these aren't perfect.  I re-read the post, he meant the clips on the dosimeters were perfect.
I was like okay well I'll do this myself.
Yeah that was months ago.  Life got hectic and crazy and I pretty much put the thought of code cylinders out of my mind.
Until now.

I had my dad help me get the clips off.  He bent it a tad bit, but once I figure out how to secure it on the chalk holder it won't matter, it's not off by that much.
Tomorrow I'm going to grab blue paint to paint the washer and I need glue.
But it's a start.  Now I have to figure out where I put the other dosimeter, it's somewhere in the house.  I only need one, but backups are always good to have.
