No suitable screws at the hardware store. I molded the barrel of a ballpoint pen (an idea from the technical section) around a 1/4 hex drive from a ratchet screwdriver set. On the other end, I press fitted a round wooden knob from the box of random things on the garage shelves. In a box of bits from ebay, there is a trimmer, so the tool could be tested out. Hopefully a chance tomorrow to have some fun adjusting.
I don't hold with furniture that talks.
