Plugging at it Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Hello Everyone, first posting for me. Thanks to all for the wealth of information shared here. Frosty posted something about rope and hammer and bungee cords... I think I can work with this. I tried it out with a flatter today. Finally, that third hand.

Judson Yaggy Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I made something very much like that several decades ago when I started, thinking it would help me draw down stock faster. What actually happened was my leg got tired instead of my arm. No real speed increase. BUT I discovered that I could hold the stock, and a top tool, and still smack things. Very useful if you are interested in doing more than squeezing a bar of steel into a slightly smaller bar of steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very useful if you are interested in doing more than squeezing a bar of steel into a slightly smaller bar of steel. That's what's interesting me right now. The alternative, of course, is some manner of hold-down to free up a hand for holding your hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
