Built myself a slapping spoon for body work. Dug out that old half of a leaf spring from my F250 that I have kept for 5 years or so. (Doesn't every one keep crap like that? )
The handle has a little "texture" to it where I got off track a bit with the cutting torch. It's there to keep it from slipping out of my hand. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Also spent a bit of time shimming the bearing in my $10 HF angle grinder. When the fix wears out, it's going in the trash. I think I'll replace that with the $30 HF one with the paddle switch like I already have. That one's doing OK.
