No paint? I'm dissapointed

Seriously, nice work! That takes a bunch of effort. Are you happy with how it works?

Mad Man Mike, I am new to the site and found your brake. would you be willing to share the damentions on this. I have been looking for one of this type .

[millerdvr]

really? looks just like a Baileigh after three weeks of use. No kidding either. Once that Chinese fake paint coat flakes off your "product" looks just the same.

I made one of these and it's been invaluable. Don't know how I got along before without one. But isn't that the way with every tool?
