Here is a video of how to convert a trashed hockey puck into an adapter. Chuck the tool into your electric drill and it will open and close the movable jaw in a few seconds.
Your comments are welcome. All of us are smarter than any one of us.
Thanks,
Rick

thats awesome...and a good way for me to squish my fingers as Im smiling on how good it works....
I did pretty much the same thing, but welded an old socket onto the crank handle. I use an impact driver to open and close it as necessary.

Im not sure where I cant get a hokey puck hear in florida...oh wight!!! we have a hockey team about 50 miles away in penscola!!! but what good would it do me since you have my band saw!! mine is mounted on a harbor fright $10 wooden moving dolly... keep up the mind work and keep posting all your ideas!!
I live in Phoenix. Lots of ice rinks here for hockey and figure skating. Doesn’t have to be pro.
that reminded me...I was a champion Iceskater when I was young...... atleast thats what i told my wife&kids.... and it is true...but...I had ice skates made by champion....and I skated on them.... and fell a lot too. last time I skated was about 15 years ago...too skeered to fall. had a great time. my youngest too right to skating after a few icy but incidents. hmm I wonder if she is doing any skating in Kosovo? Ill have to ask her. last time I saw her skaiting was in Switzerland. I need to get back there...soon. I wish I could afford a home in Italy.
I can fall down with the best of them but my wife, Donna, is a series figure skater. She has a coach, custom boots, Sheffield steel blades, and very high standards for sharpening those blades. Here is a machine I built with help from John Herrmann which restores the curvature of the blade to new with every sharpening.

And the full details are here.

thats awesome, is it just for her or do you do a lot of other skaters also?
Only her. The pattern is for a specific size and brand.Quote:
