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.

Sounds like something my dad would have rigged up. I thought I was
gonna die after I actually cleaned the shop and either re-sharpened or
disposed of all the mangled screwdrivers I found stuck in a drawer.
How was I supposed to know that each of them was a special tool?
