Enjoyed your blog Austin. One question. In the second entry you are talking about marking a line and show this tool:

What is it?

I also saw an Eckold Piccolo in one of the photos?

Kerry , That is a chisel bit used to lightly thin a curved line so as to allow the metal to yield at that point .I also use this to create a very sharp bend on straight flanges if I am working with a brake that doesn't make a sharp line or has a lazy bend in the middle of the panel .

I know it's a chisel bit. What I'm asking is what tool is it in? It's not a Pullmax or Eckold. Is it a handheld tooling holder or ???

Hi from another newbie. Nice work on the blog!

response to kerry's question
 

Kerry,
The tool is a Baileigh Industrial MH-19. The MH stands for Multi hammer. It can be used as a reciprocating hammer, or as a spring slap power hammer. It uses a coil spring as opposed to a leaf spring set up like a yoder. Its nice machine. However, I wish it hit with more force when in power hammer mode.

In that image it is set up as a reciprocating hammer. The die is one i made in a rush one day. It works nice but id like to make a nicer one with better adjustability.

Welcome to the site Austin.
I met you at the Baileigh seminar. Thanks for the great demonstration!
I used to work with a guy who is now working at Motion. (Curt)
He's in the bodywork area though.
I'll have to check out your blog & see what's new. Tim
