Sam Salvati Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Nice work, how's it hit? Get some pictures when you try hot steel in it, and grind a radius on 1/2 of those dies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Funk Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 My buddy found a overhead type door contractor who gave us free reign to dig thru his dumpster. I am certain a couple trips would have yielded a free spring. Trust somebody else can put this strategy to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
