I had the same problem, I just used a file to take some material off the back of the dovetails.
It worked well enough, but that's not a good enough reason not to make a tool and do it properly.

You're right Damian, a file might have done ot, but that would be too easy. Anyway, I enjoyed the challenge, and also used one of my sine bars and slips for the first time 
Just how accurate it is is another matter. I'll test drive it today.

Be great for making the storage racks for the toolholders if you decide to go into production.

Made kind of today, in that it's the first day I actually finished putting it in place and it working.
A ZS6BKW 80-10m kind of dipole. Needs some tweaking but early results are quite pleasing. The wire is D-10 ex-mil comms cable, unpaired out.
I anchored the ends with farm gate electric fence springs, to keep tension when the trees sway around, and there's at least ten feet (nearer twenty) of paracord between the springs and the egg insulators on the ends of the dipole.

Today i have spent the full day cutting the chassis rails from under this shooting range to make it sit 7 inches lower on the truck for my mate...SAF plasma never missed a beat all day and only went through 2 tips on the cutter. Took my 2 lads with me as it needed 2 fork trucks in tandem to lift it.

Should maybe move this to the stuff Ive fixed thread….today for the first time since born, he managed to get to his feet un aided and eventually with a bit of persuasion managed to suckle his mother. Will move nighttime bottle tops ups to every 3 or 4 hours.

Last time I was at one of those, the rifle was more of a firle. Bloody bullets went everywhere but on target.Today i have spent the full day cutting the chassis rails from under this shooting range to make it sit 7 inches lower on the truck for my mate...SAF plasma never missed a beat all day and only went through 2 tips on the cutter.

Probably worn out barrel, I suppose. What made it more annoying was that I was a reasonably good shot, and my mate in the next lane had a good 'un, so his scores were much better.

The Army brought one along to Congleton carnival when I was a kid. I had great fun emptying the magazine of the L1A1 they had, chambered in .22. I remember there being a big flash from the ejection port on each shot, presumably with the port being huge compared to the .22 empties.

Not to quote my own post, but….
What is the female part of these called does anyone know? Ball clamp it isn’t and I’m getting results I’d rather not have in my browser history
I want the clamp arrangement that goes over the RAM ball and tightens up. Ideally with a flange mount but that’s the least of my worries.
All I can find is a double ended tube so as you can put a ball in each end but that’s not what I want or need.

Bet if you searched for flange mount you'd get some interesting results

The paint and fittings arrived for the painting tool box. First, 2 coars of primer and two top coats. The cheap builders merchant's ply on the front and back is really nasty but it will do.
The handle and catches arrived from Pen Elcon, they supply bits for making cabs for the music industry. Look pretty bog standard to me
. I already had some cheap corner protectors but they were antiqued so painted them satin black. I wish I had painted the hinges black two, I guess I still can.
Next onto fitting out the inside I have a few ideas. I quite like the contrast between the painted outside and wood interior.
