Re: Home made tools
Looks like you put a lot of thought into your tools Cotten.
Very nice.
It is a shame that you are no longer taking on mechanic work. The old Harley world has lost a true master mechanic.----
Unlike the "Mechanics" of today who are really just parts changers who throw new parts at equipment until it works again--sometimes.

Re: Home made tools
Dale!
I'm sick, but ain't dead yet!
The reason Liberty has a shop full of unused chassis and motor tooling is because of schizoid insurance companies and insurmountable Workman's Comp barriers. There was time when five people teamed up under its roof.
Damn few young people today would be foolish enough to study my 'survivor skills' anyway.
....Cotten
PS: Indianut!
My little town's mainstreet watchsmith finally passed on two Januarys ago, and I spent a day and a half in the snow and ice retrieving everything from gold to his shingle from the 'bubbadump'.
Many of the tools were inscrutable until I found a 1929 Swartchild & Company jeweler's catalog in the heap.
