I like the design and have all the parts in my scrap box. I am planning to make one this weekend. Thanks for the idea and the great photos.
Thanks for sharing Catfish. Great tool. Simple and easy to construct. Would be a nice project for metalworking newbies.
Forgive me if I missed something but is it adjustable? If so why would it need to be?
