Guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Can you make me one?Do you actually want one right enough?I'd make it a bit differant to mine as i've learned from the first time, my only concern would be that sending it to you would probobly render the whole exercise a bit expensive.....Certainly, if you want one, let me know.....

2sixstreet Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Has no one ever used a vice to do this? I guess not every one has a vice that big. Wind it out, put a set of soft jaws in, put the headset and cups in and wind away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onza Kieron Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 My vice is too small to do this Hammer and wood works fine when your careful, i've done it to all my frames and never had problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 I'm going to make a King tool in a few weeks when I start working, should be a bit of a challenge! I'm fairly sure about what it's going to look like, just need to get it done.How are you going to do the wedge? That's the only bit which is tricky, the rest is just getting the shape and diameter right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
