Making the perfect shim out of 2010 steel then flame hardening, priceless.
Totally agree. I am in the fortunate position of having my Myford tri lever for spacers,shims and small work and a good, very skillful friend with a mill and two harrison lathes(and alot more ability) for more complex stuff.
