Lucky - sometimes.
Last week I was using my grinder that has a thin kerf cutting wheel on one side and a multitool linisher on the other. While using the cutting wheel I remember barely heard a soft thudding noise but thought nothing of it.
Biggish clean up in the shed over the weekend. Threw out some stuff. Took a van load of E-waste and metal to the recycling centre. Emptied 3 of the 4 rubbish bins into one and was even thinking of putting the contents into the main house rubbish bin but decided to do something else.
This morning I decided to do some maintenance jobs, change a pot on a VFD control box, sand a piece of wood being made into a freeform bowl, fix the broken ratchet handle on the DP dust catcher, repair the table saw fence adjustment knob etc. While doing the latter I turned on the bench grinder with the multitool linisher and the motor whirred but linisher did not go round. Looking to the side - no nut - then I remembered the soft thudding sound. Spent about 15 minutes on hands and knees on the looking under machines and benches, shifted my sheet metal stash around - nothing except I did find the chunky washer associated with that nut. It was also the RHS nut with the left hand thread. In the end I gave up looks and decided to go back to cleaning up, and picked up the 4th now full rubbish bin and walked over to the main household bin to empty it, and then it hit me, and sure enough the nut was in that bin.
