BTW, that's a very fine job of machining.

Hello Doc
Yes, that's a good idea for installation.
Muchas Gracias for the kind words. All U Guys are indeed overly generous with praise.
Need to go and throw some sand on my dials (face !!)

This is tool porn at its best
It's a kind of magic the way this Master goes about manipulating steel to such beauty and perfection
Truly inspirational

Hi Guys.
We have also been active, to our own (limited) potential, and which is no way in comparison to what Maestro Rob's produces.
Made a set of large Machinist's Jacks, which we sorely missed when we were working on the Wheel Balancing stand. (See pics in Thread)
These are similar to what we had seen and liked on another site.  Nothing to fancy, but quite practical and useful.
Next we'd like to fabricate a smaller set.
Thanks for looking
