Peas - I remember a "poem" from when I wuz in 2nd grade -

"I eat my peas with honey, I've done it all my life -
It makes the peas taste funny, but it keeps 'em on the knife" -

(Now, if @ 75 I could just remember where I laid that hammer down) :confused: ... Steve

In 5 more years you may not even remember that you had a hammer.

Cover the bed-ways and chuck 'em up in the lathe. Use muffler clamps to attach an angle grinder to the tool-post if you lack a TP grinder.

Turn lathe and wheel spindles in the same direction so where the wheel contacts the punch they're moving in opposition.

The op is called a spin grind and is easier than most folks think to set up. Punch points aren't critical and can be dressed as needed with file strokes and switching the lathe spindle back to it's normal rotation. (toward us)

Surface grinder will clean up the dies

I have two of those adjustable wrenches...one SAE and one Metric.

On occasion I've sent the nephews after the Metric wrench, when I just have the SAE one in hand...

I got a left handed one and a right handed one.:laughing: I also have a left handed Ford wrench:thumbsup:.
hugs, Brandi

Thanks JK. I assume you are referring to these triangular corner braces. They are OEM parts.
