Did you use any old sheet metal laying around the plant? Does the tool glow at night? Nice welding by the way.

thanks for all the comps. made it out of non-radioactive stainless plate and nuclear grade C clamp
and it does fit all springs on all cylinders( thought I would need to trim it some, because I threw it together pretty quick, but it fit fine.)
