Several years ago, I saw a c-frame tool set up with a laser shining on the skin at the location of the center of the
bottom die. This simplified aiming for a hole when the die was covered by the skin. He also rigged up a sledge
hammer with a system of ropes and pulleys so that he could raise the hammer by pressing a lever with his foot, then
let it drop on the punch. This allowed him to have both hands free for handling a large sheet. We called it a laser
guided sledge hammer. It was not an elegant arrangement, a duct tape and bailing wire affair, but it worked.


I like that!
