    I have a set of different sizes. One of my bigger ones I use for knocking the axle out of a Harley (or anything else) to keep from damaging the threads. I also have a big brass headed hammer.

    I use a 9" piece of 1" X 1" key stock I drilled 1/16" holes in different depths, a hole for a 3/32" pin (rarely used) plus a hole to catch pins I knock out of old razors.

    Sorry about the late post but yes indeed you were the first to use that brass drift.

    Years ago, when I worked in a Motorcycle shop, this is how we replaced rubber hand grips. You have to cut them off, once dry.
    Hmm... never tried the gasoline trick. In our shop, we just used a compressed air nozzle and put it against the hole in the end of most grips, thumb over the other end of the handlebar, a bit of air and that grip would balloon up and slide right on.

    The other way I'm familiar with is grip tape and grip fluid used for rubber handles on golf clubs... Those grips will NEVER let go!

    Nice job there!!
    If you drill, with a larger bit, up through the holes from the bottom to about a ¼" from the top, the pins can drop free instead of wedging after the first couple pins.

    It figures that some corporation took a backyard solution and turned it into a product sold for profit.

    As I've said, this wasn't my idea (Got it from Geezer) here:

    Here's my way of doing it/see post #83:

    Yep, good idea for our niche market. I tell you what I would have had a dozen for sale if they weren't being made. But , with them available for $20 I can't even think about it.
    Great idea Geezer , I think I will drill a larger hole for disassembly. I have not heat treated it yet. I have a small 20lb bench anvil I have been using , this one will go on a new assembly bench I am building so can still drill and mod this one. I did coat it with anti scale and get it read to heat but its in stand by for now.

    Here's another useful scrap made hootenanny . Just a little wrapped sand bag glued down to a piece of scrap hard board. I have a few of these in the shop. Very handy when you want to work on something small and odd shaped, not in a vice and without scratching. gets your work up off the bench a little. This one is my dirty one, I post these up because I found myself filing the tops of my clipped pins on mine yesterday. This one is a Crown Royal bag, fake suede.

    And my clean pad is a piece of soft leather and plywood, no filing here. This one for scrimshaw and other clean work. The soft sand bag holds irregular shapes nicely for up close detail type work.

    The sandbags are a great idea, yes there are absolutely times when I need that. I like the look of that razor too!
