More Fork Fixin !

When a swingset just won't do...

Someone tell Vince I didn't have a spare bumper jack... or a hunk of big angle iron... or a way to cut a slot in a hunk of big angle iron... But I did have a 2x4 and Harbor Freight sells little bottle jacks... Only 103 today, a bit of a cool spell.

I think the heat is getting to you, that one's not bent!

Not bent ANYMORE. In my excitement, I forgot to take a "before" pic.

This one was bent 90% in the blades, and quite notably.... ...when a swing-set just won't do.

I've always wondered how to straighten a bent jack. An old classic bike seems like it might be a fairly expensive route to take though.

I have a lot of them... and they are not consumed in the process.

In actuality, all we are really seeing is the badaboom photos.

Now I look like some crazy old fart who doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. I'd say this worked out rather well for you, Doug.

The gizmo or the verbal jiu-jitzu?

Did that really work? 2x4's and a small jack! As mentioned it really would of been nice to see the " before " picture. I'm almost tempted to try it.
