Wow Jason
Did he make both of these items that you have pictured and is there any build history
that we can look at.

No The second pic just shows the painted up squeezer in the background. Though hes capable of making a milling machine.
 
Its worth looking through the posts of "Rob.Wilson" on Mad Modder, very skilled man, mostly machine refurbs and alterations but he's also a very talented welder and home caster. You will have to register if not already a member then go to the member list , select Rob and view his posts.

Hi Bob,
 
And a Happy New Year, I'll respect 'out of the box thinking' when I see more done properly inside it. Just because some things are old, it doesn't mean they are outdated.
 
I'm not too far behind you in the age stakes either and in my previous profession I was acknowledged as a lateral thinker, But I can still appreciate the elegance of the simple 'Complex' is usually the result of muddled thinking. I'm reminded of those designers (and I use the term loosely) who try to redesign new versions of old, but proven solutions and the new 'solution' simply doesn't fulfil the need. I've seen it often with ambitious young Turks who think they know better than the older generation. Perhaps I was even like that myself once.
 
As far as being a Luddite, a Luddite is one who resists progress. I welcome progress, but I don't think that change is necessarily the same as 'progress'. It takes lateral analysis to recognise real progress and not simple change. I'm just awaiting the day when someone here announces that they have redesigned the wheel, because it's outdated.
 
All the very best regards,
 
Terry

Hi Jason,
 
Wow, that's good, it fair takes me back to my days working with the fabrication platers in my first apprentice department. It would also make a great basis for an English wheel for body panel work with a few simple attachments. I haven't been to Mad Modder fro ages, I must revisit. Thanks for the prompt,
 
Best Regards
 
Terry

No disrespect, but on the basis of that, I think a dolly with 2 slots in it might be a more speedy answer.
 
I bet that would squeeze a rivet a trifle.
