Chin Technique for Sofa Table Assembly

2 May 2022

—

There are a few handy man jobs Sena lets me do around the house. They tend to be chores like Knock Down Furniture assembly. The most recent job was a small sofa table. You know, usually the companies send you a cheap tool to put things like this together. This time they didn’t enclose a hex head wrench—because they didn’t use hex head screws. The sofa table came with Phillips head screws—but no Phillips head screwdriver. No problem; I have one of those.

In the video I made, I mention the chin technique to use when you’re putting stuff like this together by yourself. You just hold on to the parts with your chin pressing against your shoulder. I don’t have a patent on it yet.

Have used the chin technique many times myself. I recently answered the age old question: “How many psychiatrists does it take to change a license plate?” The answer is one but it took 3 hours so I guess it really did not want to change. I removed 3 of the 4 Phillips head large screws effortlessly. On the 4th – I stripped it and had to use a channel lock and then vice grips. When I went to the dealer they had an electric drill screwdriver that made everything go easier. They also had new corrosion proof screws. Live and learn.

  That chin move comes in handy, although I’m probably one of the most unhandy guys on the planet!
