thanks for the kind remarks. which brake? I think i know the one you mean, wasn't mine though just posted the pic. beautiful build none the less.
The split cotters are easy to make and a functional way to clamp, you'll like using them. If you're not sure of the process let me know
I to have toyed with building a brake, I keep flip flopping between buying a good one (used) and making one. I've a 4' 16 gauge brown boggs shear that must weight 1000 lbs and a home made pinch roller, all I need is the brake and spot welder and I'm good to go with sheet metal. well at least until i want to make a fender or some bloody thing
