That is amazing you are a inspiration lol. I love it when people do thing the diy way. I have a pretty good imagination when it comes to doing things on the cheap. One of the engineers here at work told me I should be an engineer after he seen some of my ideas for the equipment lol. Sometimes they work sometimes they dont. I made a homemade barrel vice for gunsmithing and it took me 3 times to come up with one that worked. In the long run it costed more than just buying a new one from midway. Lol but mine will last forever and will never wear out. And I made it on a 60 dollar harbor freight drill press. Its 2 pieces of 2x3 steel stock and I drilled holes thru it and threaded the bottom holes the drilled a big hole in the center and used aluminum round stock in various diameters for bushings to go around the barrel so the steel doesnt mar it up.
I also made an action wrench that doubles as my torsion bar remover haha
