I needed a larger snap ring tool.
The pins are recycled broken mill ends. The rest is scraps I had sitting in the shop.

From those i cobbled a stand for the forge and used the bed frame casters to allow me to roll it around.

Guys, I realized that Google translated my message as "Chinese instructions for their product", and I have no offense, and you do not bother me. I am from Ukraine and I use google translation.

Here’s another shop made tool. Its rough and bodgered together, but it works and might give Rube Goldberg a chuckle, God rest his merry soul.

I like it. Good old practical making do with what you have to make do with.

fun and made from stuff laying around the shop

My kinda stuff! The fact that the hammer is practical does not keep it from being a hoot!

He comes from the Cyrillic speaking area. This can be Bulgaria, Greece, Ukraine or Russia. Please look up this small translation error.
Surely he means the right thing, namely the vice jaws.

Oh, that explains it then. Thanks for clearing it up and my apologies to pensioner for misinterpreting his use of the word.
