Jack,

As I mentioned in the start of this thread it was a community project on Compuserve. The guy who made it lived in Louisiana and had a hobby casting shop. I doubt he is still alive since he was quite old back then. I finally a few years ago found the Geo. Thomas book with the drawings in it. I do plan on finishing this project sometime in the "distant future".  :lol:  :ddb:

I see you've already gotten some good points were to find one. Good luck.

Bernd

Tinkering_Guy:
That "hand shaper" looks like an interesting project, as well.  Personally, I'm not impressed with the MMP Web site, though; inset frames with separate scrollbars and having to bring up a PDF to see pricing..?  Meh.

Jeff Michel:
I purchased the universal pillar tool castings from Martin Model and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase any of the castings they offer. Annealed, no holes, machined great, (for cast iron) and free shipping. I had a couple of questions before I ordered, Gary Martin answers the phone, pleasant and very helpful.
Jeff
