I ordered an electric impact wrench since I sold my compressor- duh.. When that gets delivered I will head back out to the shop and do some more looking and playing with the rough design I now have in my head and see what is or isn't going to work. Will get some pics for a follow-along for those who may be interested in where this is going. I did rough out a return spring and have an idea for mounting that, too, at least for the moment. Still quite concerned about my fingers- had them quite a while now and kind of like the way they work, sure don't want any changes is that department Guess I will go see if there is an estimated delivery date yet. Thanks again for all the input! Dave

The air wrench sounds like the answer for me, been concerned about fingers getting in there, and could operate that thru a foot switch, I think? Thanks to everyone for the ideas and thoughts. As a blacksmith I always love the idea of having a free hand! I happen to have an air ratchet for sale right this minute- will go remove that item now and give this some more thought. Will post some pics as I work this through and figure it out or not, either way. I always wonder what happens to ideas that pop up and then seem to get lost out in the ozone somewhere You guys are the best! Thanks again, Dave

Investigating an idea I saw a while ago [and can't find] for an air powered post vise closing mechanism that would leave both hands free when opening/closing my post vice. Mine is a modular Kinyon style that I may modify some more to open/close hands free, if possible. Built by my friend Bill Cottrell. Anyone care to share your thoughts? TIA Dave

PICTURES of your hardy sleeves / hole size adaptor
windancer replied to windancer's topic in Problem Solving
The new hardy if 1 1/8 inch, so having trouble finding and steel that size that is WAY over-priced. Found a piece of heavy tube that I sanded down until it would fit the hard and split the corners a touch. Just need to bend all 4 sides down now and it will be ready to go. Will post a Pic when I get it finished Dave -
