I plan to make some inserted bit hollowing tools with arm braces. Two
45deg. 1/2 in pipe couplings and a 6 in nipple for the 'Z' and a 10 in
nipple padded with tape for its tail. I use 3/4 CR bar pipe-threaded for
the 1/2 in coupling at one end and drilled for a bit and tapped for a
setscrew at the other end. Ugly? Yep.

BIG SNIP.

This post reminds me Kevin, isn't it time for annual nominations to the
Order of COC? Maybe if we would have them, no one would want to join.

====Arch! All ya gotta do the figure the breaking moment of your forearm
or the amount of force required to put your shoulder out of joint. Then
dial in just a bit less than that in a torque wrench and weld that into your
Goldbergian arm brace!

As to folks not wanting to join the COC? Since when did "wanting" have
anything to do with it? COCs are to the manor born and are appointed and in
certain cases elected. I'll start the ball rolling, I nominate you for an
additional term! I would rather have you appointed COC-for-life, but there
may be others who are better qualified! As to a newbie COC, might I, with
some tremulousness, nominate George. I detect the fine quality of
COCishness from some of his posts!*G*
