A couple of projects I copied off the forum that I finished today. Vise stop and speed handle for Kurt vise. I don't think they turned out too bad for a beginner. What do you think?

Had to have a ( special tool) you know!!! The special tool that the shop owner has to buy that drives the cost up to fix your car. This car was a 2008 Ford fusion. The tool is for removing the lower ball joint. The tool can be bought for about $220.00. & would be a couple of days to ship. I made this one in a couple hours. I bought the .750x16 grade 8 threaded bolt at fastenal.
