stuff that becomes tools

[Frank S]

In repairing the frame on a 2007 Ford Ranger I have used many things that were made for other things as ntools to do something entirely different than what they were. My trailer has become a frame machine among other things.
Today I decided that since I haven't been able to locate any cut off or replacement front frame horns or the bumper mount as it were.
I used a piece of 1 1/2" by 6" by 28" long flat bar as the pull post 4 screw type load binders and some chains and a torch to try and stretch the horn back out.




then I set up what I called a fulcrum anvil. A famous man said a long time ago with the right leaver and a fulcrum you can move the world. Blacksmiths have always said the world can be reshaped heat an anvil and a hammer. So I combined all of this to reshape the horn
