What in rhe world is he trying to do??

 

[Alpine 1789]

Looks like he is trying to compress a coil spring, "protected" by a 1x6.

Should his collection of clamps fail, I'm not sure he will be adequately protected.

Can't figure out his setup, but this I'm sure of. If the clamps are not capable of collapsing the spring, they will offer zero protection if anything fails.

Mike,

I see what you see (), but if I right click on that and then select "show image in new tab", I can usually see the image. Most times though, it's just a link to sign in to Google. I can see this image in a new tab. Here's the link.

Hope this helps,

If it fails, this guy will never be a father, as vital parts and pieces my become missing.

This might work better for those who can't see the original.

When working on cars. Safety first. Always!!

Pretty sure he should have two spring compressors in use there. Those sliding bar clamps will do nothing for him.

Yup, correct tool for the job...the wood, that is....

Picture of one of the tools I inherited. I had assumed these were for compressing springs. There are 3 of them. Would all 3 be used when compressing a spring, or is just 2 sufficient?

Thanks,
Mike

 

[Aladin Sane]

Three would be safest, but I have seen two used often.

Would you rather sit on a 2 legged stool or 3?

Neither really.
