Ed suggested that I submit small pictures in my postings, so here is an attempt at that.

This is an old Xuron Track Cutter that I modified to make the crimps when making hinges as suggested by Tim.

How am I doing?

Chuck,

Did just fine. The idea is that the picture should not exceed about 8" in width when posted. This keeps the forum from expanding the width pane.

I use a free download graphics and picture software package to resize the picture and adjust brightness and contrast characteristics. I do have to remember which saved version of the adjusted file needs to be uploaded for the posting!

I estimate I have about 5 pounds of coupler springs somewhere in the vicinity of my workbench.
