Or "How I learnt to stop fighting the Forum and love the bandit". I needed to make this missing reel disc quickly. Couldn't find any suitable tool steel laying around here and was after 5pm so ventured to my local hardware supermarket which shuts at 7pm. Found this new spade for $14.50 with the correct gauge and almost enough flat, though lightly bowed. Annealed the spade in a circle to make it easier to roughly cut out. Then fully annealed the piece and hammered flat. Drilled the centre first so I could bolt one of the originals onto it as a pattern. Was then very easy to quickly cut the outer shape using large bench shears. A lot slower drilling the 10 holes though. After a quick wire wheel to soften the edges just needed heating and re-tempering. Much quicker than waiting 12 days for a part mailed by Jingle!
