[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 189290, member: 4617"] Joe - using hand tools effectively is an art and you appear to have that down pat. When I first joined my Navy as a stoker, was taught how to use hand tools. Had to make a V-Black and clamp using hacksaw, files, rulers and the likes. The instructors used a flat bed with a dial indicator to mark. Clearances were in the range of +/- 0.000" and such. Needed this skill set on the old steam propulsion ships. Couldn't take the lathe, or whatever into the spaces to tweak parts to fit. I apparently passed the course because I made the Navy a 25 year career as a marine engineer. I use hand tools all the time to do work. My friends want to use power tools when it's sometimes faster and better to use a hand tool. Items last longer, not as much material removed at one time. Their preference. On a more modern note, I keep getting told to stop leaving my cell phone at home because my partner has wanted to get a hold of me when I'm out. If it's important, I will hear about it when I get back. There was something to be said for the old days, but only for certain things. Good luck on the build, frustrating I know. Keep using hand tools, older bikes need older skill sets. Enjoying the thread, not the head/heart ache. Cheers [/QUOTE]
