Guys,

Mig Welder - no explanation necessary.

Press Brake (289 Leaf Spring Chassis has a TON of bent metal parts.)

I bought plans off of eBay for the press brake and had my machinist friend make one for me as well as himself. It is the cats a$$!!!!! Could not live without it.

Drill Press - without question a must have.

Vernier Caliper - must have.

Steel Ruler in 32nd's and 100th's - must have.

Metal Band Saw - makes work so much easier than a saws-all.

Plumb-bob - old school but it works.

Bench sander - beats filing.

Good mind to come up with jigs - priceless.

Happy Fourth! - now back to the adult beverages.
