You don't see a slideshow? Made with my new "Whiz-Bang" slideshow software? Anyone else? See it or not?

Those don't look like OCP tongs. When was this?

To me it seems like a better way to display pictures. Now I need to find a way to make it easy for anyone to do.

This thread is fast becoming about slideshows rather than shackle punching. Try it now Larry, I added to the code so it should work on more formats. Thanks for the input guys!

What ever you've fixed, it unfixed IE. I see "Load Failed" where the viewer used to be.

Interesting. Seems I can make it work with everything except Internet Exploder OR I can make it work with everything except Firefox. Sorry gang, lot more people with IE than FF. I'll keep working on it, after all I use Firefox!.

Nice pics. Pardon my ignorant question, but is the V bracket on the punch used as an alignment guide, or as a stripper for the punch?

For the record, I couldn't get it to work with either Firefox or IE8. Just needed to add the Adobe Flash player add ins to both browsers and now both are working

Just for alignment, to get the punch in the right spot. The punch is a loose piece and drops out the bottom along with the slug. The punch is back tapered, opposite of a normal hot punch, normal for through punching with a bottom die like this.

On this job I was punching one hole oversize and one undersize. after they were bent and lined up with a stepped pin we had to tap threads in one side. For that I would press a bushing onto the shank of the tap. That way I could feed the tap through the big side and tap the far side. That made sure it was lined up.

Very clean looking holes. I see you had a spring loaded guide in one picture, was this an addition or did you take it away?
