    I can tell you how to do it tomorrow after I find my glasses, no joke, I have done many and will gladly tell you how once I can see.

    EDIT: OK, I have found glasses. Do you have (or have access to) a hydraulic press, going to need at least a 20 ton,

    two pieces of angle iron 3/8 thick 3 inch sides about 1 foot long (available for cheap at any steel supply store), and a dial indicator, and some sort of "V" blocks to use as a stand (simple to make). If you can come up with this stuff and want to proceed with this project drop me an Email at geo46er@yahoo.com that is my regular email address.
