The youngster's pride and joy a Canon DSLR that I got for Astro but has since turned into a major photography obsession. Came up with error 20 - which helpfully means "something mechanical has gone wrong."
After a quick google I took it apart into lots of bits unstuck the sticky shutter, re-assembled and it works. Took ages to get apart as all the screws were a) really really small, b)JIS that I didn't have c) stupid tight for how small the screws were.
Wish I'd taken a pic of it apart, but err...

I was surprised it didn't take much of a tap on the wedge to release the chuck. Let us know how you get on.not going to lie i have been looking at the slot in my drill and thinking " it looks like a MT...says its a MT but but but i cant make it work like a MT "
I have to mostly bite my tongue when a handbag gets placed on my roof . . .
Keyboard warriorNo, me too but I wasn't going to be as...blunt...as bricol
I mention it to a mate in person . . . someone new, I'd just think . . .
Actually much as I do to the other half - I did manage to get her to actually wash her car for the first time ever the other month - and even polish it! She's owned two cars over a good number of years and had never washed a car!

Fairy 'nuff - it was just that your post had no emojis to indicate you knew him well enough to use the word.

My wife tried polishing road tar off our Ford Cougar with a scouring pad!
She phoned to tell me it was scratched while I was on a boys weekend away, in a rage I threw my phone in the pond I was sitting next to...

One of the apprentices at work did that to his own pride and joy, his first car, he never lived it down!
Well I fixed the parts to fix this!
Some monster of a wood chipping unit that eats waste wood for a boiler and making compost, I was told repeatedly white they were waiting for me to do my thing “I’ve got 50 grands worth of gear sat their clogging the yard up! Costing money”
Their was 11 of theses bars that bolt to a pair of chains that move the wood along to the business end, but thru lack of maintenance the chains were stretched and drive teeth looked like struck matches!
Results were the bars catching the floor and trying to flip over bending the lugs and causing one hell of a mess.
Multiple pass welds with a strip of hard facing on the back side where they run on a edge.
Also massive thanks to Brad for trying to sort the tabs for me in a mass rush, really appreciate it!

his guy has 3 of them, not all the same one smaller one bigger, along side a firewood business, compost, oh and one of the biggest agricultural contractors in the NW. I was very keen to do a good job on this as it will (and has) led to more work, the kind of work where I don’t have to put quotes in and chase farmers for money
