TechnicusJoe Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I made these videos to help others make their tools. I hope it's of good use.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL5cqT-aHz8http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxYTIrEg0oc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Nice vid TJ, but when you are drifting holes to size you may find it better to have the drift tapered at both ends, that way you can knock the drift all the way through, and there is less likelihood of mistaking it for a punch when first picking it up to use.

Thanks for the tip, but I have used this mild steel drift for many times for many holes, never bugged me nor failed me. It can be recognized from any other tool, even in the dark. But if it does, I will use your tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Hi TJ, not my tip, it has been recognised practise for centuries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechnicusJoe Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Hi TJ, not my tip, it has been recognised practise for centuries "Many roads lead to Rome." This is also regconized very well in a few topics in the general discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Lea (AKA 99pppo) Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 This video is very well made and extremely informative. Plus these tongs seem to be very, very strong! I think I will try this method with some personal variation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
