I found this neat tool to tighten the knurled nuts on P&B circuit breakers. Comes in two sizes the 5/8" version works great. Available from music stores on eBay, used for replacing the toggle switches on electric guitars.

Here's a neat trick for making floor board pattern. I use strips of thin Luann ply and a glue gun to make patterns; very quick and simple. More details on another post. http://www.supercub.org/forum/showt...g-my-2-2-PA-14&p=668997&viewfull=1#post668997

Yeah, that's where I first saw the idea; when they installed our new counter tops.Same technique used to make stone countertops. It has several uses.
Nowadays they do it with dots and a computer.
I wanted to bend some thicker material so I found a DIY 20 ton press brake kit at Swagoffroad.com and welded it up. It looks good and is rated to bend up to 5/8" steel. They also sell other kits and products that I have been happy with.

Origin enables more precise cuts by automatically correcting or retracting the tool’s bit if the machine strays from the designated cutting path.
You did the one thing I regret not doing on my last project. I missed the heat shrink. Every time I try to slide my wing covers on I'm reminded as they hang up on the little porcupines the cable tails have become. Usually get frustrated and give them a jerk, which then tears a hole in them, which raises the ole "stress level" a little higher. All for lack of 50 cent piece of heat shrink.....
You can use self-fusing silicone rescue tape (like this) to wrap the ends where you "forgot" to use the shrink wrap. It fuses to itself very nicely, and will protect your wing covers. Available in many colors on Amazon and elsewhere.
All right here is an idea, not yet a tip since I have not tried it but that tape gives me this idea for repairing hydraulic hoses temporarily without removing them:
1-Put a long one layer wrap of that tape over the rupture extending as far as possible past the area in both directions after cleaning. 2-Wrap as tightly as possible the tape with piano wire, guitar string, or maybe mig wire, getting the coils as close together as possible but trying to sink them into the tape AND leaving just enough room between the coils for the inner tape to pucker up just a bit to bond to the next step.
3-Wrap an outer layer of tape to fuse to the inner layer and for low pressure your done. For higher pressures add more layers of wire alternating with layers of tape.
Anyone think that could work for a very temporary repair?? Every summer I always break a hydraulic hose or two on my old case hoe while I'm out in my woods usually in a very inconvenient place to leave the hoe until I secure a replacement.
