 ,I used my bucking tool I paid dollars to have fabbed,,it works like a champ

I will put together a little kit and rent it out to folks who want to do their restorations the correct way
Hey Niblet:

How about a little credit to the guy who designed the bucking tool and gave you the blue print? I am not looking for fame my friend, but giving credit is just good manners.

I did,,,read the thread on the bucking tool, I made a separate thread on it...
and pls note I said "Fabbed" not "engineered",,big difference
I am the guy who paid 500 bucks to have it professionally fabricated,,but yes Patrick here was gracious to provide me with the prints,,Thanks again
