Jameson,

Beautifully done. I have a question. The phillips head screw is all screwed up there isn’t any way I can loosen it. If I could put of of those screw looseners on it that you hit with a hammer to break the screw loose that would probably work but the chuck doesn’t open enough to do that. Besides dynamite or a band saw do you know of any other way to get the cover off so I can get some other tools on that screw? Speaking of a band saw can I cut off the black plastic cover on the chuck and will that allow me to get to that screw? Before you ask yes I heard you the screw is a left hand thread.l Thank you.
