I spent friday night making the mother of all frame wrenches(*) from a ginormous chunk of aluminum. There's really no need for it to be this size other than the aluminum was such a nice piece I didn't want to remove any of it.
It took four hours rather than the needed 30 minutes, but was fun nonetheless. It's not quite done since I am still debating whether to make it take inserts or cut it so it only fits colt I/E frames (which is all it will ever get used for).
Those of you who reload might be amused by the repurposing of the stock dillon handle. I have three of these things that have been sitting in my closet. Finally there is a use!
(*) Frame wrench = wrench used to hold and rotate the frame in order to remove the barrel.
The python is a 6" used for scale. I put a photo of the frame wrench in the shop manual so you can see what a well adjusted adult would have made.
