An oven is a very hand tool for those don’t own a press, that for some reason is typically positioned in the kitchen. Sure makes installing fresh out of the freezer bearings a piece of cake after the bearing housing has simmer for 350 for 20 minutes.
Funny, but that was the first thing I thought of while reading the post. My mother in law almost had a heart attack when she opened my oven and found the cylinder head for the racing bike I was building. I wasn't cooking it, but the shelf space was needed.
You know how it is.
