    I redid the 1/2" block. The red one is my remix. I added the ring to keep the anvil from going through and hitting the table. It was wobbly without it..
    I can narrow it up a bit more around the ratchet head if you want.

    I have another need. But I’m going to wait a bit before dropping the design in the thread.

    There are 8 year old's doing better designs than this. It's not that difficult to sit on the couch in your boxers and play around with Tinkercad while watching Netflix.
    But I appreciate the comments. :humble:

    Archer loves these treats. King Soopers had them for awhile, then stopped stocking them. Luckily Amazon has them in bulk for cheaper. Be here in a few days and see if he stops being so mopey[​IMG]

    Long distance zoom, then a crop. Neighbor had a turkey in his yard across the street. Gotta get my call out and see if I can lure it in.

    Interesting tidbit if you take the last little piece from Archer so he doesn't choke, you can soak it in water,then nuke it and it turns into a fluffy yak cheese puff

    I'll try this. I do get nervous when it gets small and he's going at it. He doesn't get left alone with it.

    Have you tried Gearwrench ratchets? I got the compact head 90t 3/8 and 1/4 set. Much less drag than my Tektons. Compared to a friend's Koken, probably a bit more draggy but close enough for my taste. The compact head means my 3/8 ratchet has a head the size of most 1/4 ratchets.

    Tekton's catalog is only partly made in the US, and only partly in their own factories. Lots of stuff still outsourced to foreign and domestic OEMs. I don't say that as a knock against them--I like Tekton as a company and have a good collection of their tools--I just like facts :) .

    I have the Gearwrench ratcheting wrenches. Been pretty happy with them. I still need to get a metric set.

    No doubt. Didn't mean to imply their entire line is MiUSA by them or comans. It's just that they do manufacturer some of their own tools in Michigan (eg their angle head wrenches) and source from Mayhew, Wilde, etc for other tools. But the majority of their tools are manufactured in Taiwan.

    Oh and their tool boxes are Rousseau (Made in Canada) and are awesome.

    I used a buddy's Gearwrench 120xp and it was nice for sure. But as you can see from this thread... I already have too many ratchets.
