Could I please see your home made shop tools?

I made this transmission tool. It is to compress the front clutch springs of a 727 Torqueflite so you can change the seals, springs, etc. Pretty simple, but something is needed to do it!

I have so many home made tools I couldnt even think
how many... when I'm out there tomorrow I'll look
around... I just made a bunch of tools for my buddy
so he could build his 700R4 GM trans

My homemade 3rd member holder, I used it I bet 5 years. Something I threw together one night to make service easier. It works.
Then I bought a real one that holds heads and other things too.

4X4 block of wood works good to hold lifters.

I did not make this push rod holder, but my buddy did. Homemade clutch disc indicator fixture under that clutch disc.

He's very crafty.

A few engine building tools: Most are obvious. Cam install tool can be used with single bolt cams ( SB as shown ) using the aluminum adaptor which has a 7/16" threaded rod on the cam side or that section can be unbolted ( 3 bolts ) and it can be used with 3 bolt cams and dowel pins. Handle is about 15" long and has a "T" on the other end ( not in pic). Angle tool on top of the block is an easy way to see if the head port side angle matches the manifold angle. Cam checking lifter is nothing more than 2 gutted hyd lifters with a piece of threaded pipe jamed between them. Adjustable positive stop on #1 hole.

A very handy holder for the 8.75" pig.

Sorry, I haven't got any real good pics of it.

tubing bender for 1" black pipe or similar diameter material, bender made with scrap parts and powered by muscle...we have another at work thats gets used and abused by 60 other millwrights and works awesome

Some of my homemade stuff for overhauling 727's.

I've got pump pullers similar to yours. What's the horse-shoe looking thing for on the upper right side?

This is my valve spring compressor(for heavy springs)
