If you read the tutorial you see that one places the screws into a template, made out of cardboard with photos glued onto that so find each screw right away.

Only a sneezing rhino would manage to blow those screws off

I've gone with the most expensive of both worlds: bought a ks2 (dead), a k100d donor, then a k-1. Somewhere behind the pile I hear a k-7 whining.. :^¢
