I am still working on getting the rest of my materials.
What I have in mind will not be as fancy as yours.
As soon as I have a finished product I will post some pictures.

Simple: I'm merely waiting on time! So much to do, so little time! Ain't we all heard THAT before..............
I'm currently using this incredible CAD program to design the basic layout of my tool. CAD Program you ask? PowerPoint! Hehehhe.....
Seriously tho......the design specs are in my moderately hollow head jigglin' around.....now to put it to paper/PC screen. More to follow to be sure!

My version of a PE Bending tool is done.
Maybe I’ll try a version of “David’s Chopper” later on… Nice idea David!

I have completed my versatile clothes pins re-do, and was wondering where to upload the photos to. I looked under current campaigns, but did not see a build a tool.

Hi Matt, I uploaded my photos to Build-A-Tool, but it would not take all of them. ("exceeds your space limitation") What should I do?

I got mine uploaded to kitmaker. Here's a look for this forum. Nothing fancy, just some simple tools for doing ground work on dios, and a couple of track jigs for tigers, panthers, etc, and one for single guide teeth tracks. Thanks, "Q"

Better get busy Mike. Mine were purely seat of the pants design and execution. I don't expect any tool makers to be pounding down my door for the exclusive rights to build them Missed you at the contest Saturday. Pretty good showing for a local contest. 50+ entrants with over 200 kits on the table. Now quit loafing online and get to building that tool!! "Q"
