Bashing tools

Post by darthbish »

What little objects/techniques do we all use to get that unique dent, bulge, crease, twist, whatever. In our lids??

I've been known to use pvc pipe, a golf ball, even the lid of a deoderant can.

What about y'all??..

Personally, I have never found it necessary to need anything other than my hands, but it would be interesting to see what other use that would make it that much better.

I've got an assortment of fine adjustment tools. Some folks call them sledgehammers.

My two hands, and nothing more.

I've used my chin a few times! Once I used a rolling pin, and also the occasional book.

I confess I was too much of a chicken to sit on my Henry - but my kid did! I walked into the living room one day and it had fallen from its perch onto the couch which he uses as his trampoline and it was squashed like a squirrel on the highway! :shock: I screamed "my Henry!," quickly grabbed it and feverishly started trying to pop it back into shape. It came back like a champ - still looks great!
