Show your tool modifications

[Mike Mcdermid]

I realize the market is small, but shit...you could make some killer tools.

And derailleur hangers.....

Dustin i did actually think about making some tools for wheelbuilding,

when i was doing carbon rims the jigs were flimsy so i did design some.....then thought better of it as machining a wheel dishing tool is just taking the piss i think, (but boy would it be straight as a die accurate), i wanna get back to building carbon fibre things I'm quite good at that

Is that truing stand a rendering? That's incredible.

Its not the first thing I think I just invented check this out you can remove the rear of the jig and make forks on it, is that a first too?

pretty sure one of the commercially availabe fixtures allows this, but not as nicely.

ps normally i dont really advertise lots of stuff im up to ...but i am quite proud of that shit

you should be proud, nice looking equipment

I need to pay attention to what forum I'm responding in....

I put this together awhile back. I modified a lousy drill press vise that I had thrown to the side. I shaped a piece of .075" round bar, polished it up, and mounted it to the vise jaw. For the other side I sliced a piece of 1.00" pipe and secured it. Insert chainstay and squish.
