I think he must pump it up with his compressor before using it, because there isn't a spring to be found anywhere in the pictures or drawings.....

Not sure Steve. Maybe you could contact the author of the article and get an answer to your question.

Afternoon Lads , may as well add these two projects to the thread


Today's offerings  ,I needed some Lathe face plate work holding tackle , angle plate and a Keats style work holding doohickey to aid with the machining of a  few jobs I was on with in the shop .

Gorgeous workmanship as always Rob.

It not only looks good but looks very useful also.

Ed

If only people realized how useful and coupled with huge dexterity in work holding Keats angle plates are they would put them on there home made tool list straight away. I made a miniature one when i was an apprentice its long gone now.

Great job on the build Rob.

This is my drawbar hammer/wrench. I STILL need to make the cocobolo wood inserts but it's functional as-is, just not as pretty.
