[TheForge] Air Hammer Guides

Sun Apr 28 20:29:00 2002

        Good question.  I haven't done it yet as I wanted to mill the block
to fit halfway inside the tube, so maybe I should just look for another
block of steel to slide up in and weld around the edges.
        I'll see what I can find in a 5 3/8 demension(or close) next time
I'm up to the fellow that carries all the cut offs from machine shops.
