I'd like to see some of the tooling dies used for bending ops.

What about pressing bearings etc? like in those shop presses.

Since SOME PEOPLE are coming down on water boarding terrorists to get info that might save lives, how about .......... naw that won't ever fly, but it was fun to think about.

I second that idea.

Does anyone have some pictures of their setup?

Thanks,

At one time I was going to fab up a fixture so I could compress the springs on my struts. Had used the store bought hook on a threaded rod type before but was just a major pain. Ended up bringing them to a garage to have it done for $10 a piece instead. Still, I think it would work fine, just need to design it so the spring is captured and can't go BOINNNNGGGG! :D

I have a small electric splitter and am amazed how well it works-
I have considered using it like a hydropress used for aircraft parts (I'm an ex-Boeing guy)
using a male (or female) mold on one side of sheet metal and thick rubber on the other to deform complex parts shaped like ashtrays or antique tailights. The male mold can be made from masonite-or even a hard wood, the rubber from multiple layers of innertubing.

I vote this is the most creative use so far.

I also vote that when you get it built, you let us know so that we can all start ordering obsolete sheet metal parts from you.
