Works good. What is the extra set of threaded holes behind the pivot pin? Looks like all aluminum too?

I broke a tap..no reason ,,no warning,, just tink. glad it was sticking out enough to grab and thread through. I have a new bottom tap now ;-)

Sort of off topic... I haven't had any time to play in the metal shop because my real job (cabinetmaking) has gotten in the way. But I have a client who wanted a unit built of 1 inch thick quarter-sawn oak plywood. Which, of course, is unobtanium. So I set up a vacuum station and have spent the last couple of days gluing 2-ply oak veneer onto 1 inch maple ply. Once I have all the pieces roughed out and veneered, I'll cut them to size, edgeband, finish, and put it all together.

I did the same thing recently, 5 - 40, made a great short bottom tap. I musta guessed right sharpening it.

Off subject: but my dad had a 56? green and yellow Hawk. What year is yours? Loved that car. Mark
