3rd. Better/cheaper in the long run to do right than do wrong/cheap in the short run.

Thanks ,aka Dave in salt lake,
The tool is a piece of cake to build
Now that I have Dims. I will build a few
I have all the materials except the nut on the hook, I think I'll use a butteerfly nut(easy to tighten)
And a note to a6gary, I"ve been building tools and parts for industry for 30+ years, and the reason to build this one is I am too cheap to spend 100$ for a tool thas has 5$ of material in it ,
Thanks all for the input!

Mind sharing the data?

I'd like to fab one instead of shelling out the $100 as well.

Thanks

Joe
