OMG!!I forgot that member's name
on: August 01, 2012, 02:31:32 PM
A number of years ago.  A member designed a one piece tool of his own.  The shape of the tool had a bit of a "fish" shape, but had NO resemblance to a Piranha.  What ever happened to him and that design?? :think:

There was the Crony that I think never went anywhere. I can't remember the member's name but I think he was a design student or apprentice machinist or something. I don't think it looked much like a fish though.

Custom maker Brian Flud was here for a while and his P38.5 tool had a fishy shape to it.

Also there's the Superior Titanium Shark tool, but I think I'm the only one with one of those.

I hope this helps!

Cool!

I know there was a lot of interest in the Crony. It would have been really neat to see it produced.
