You need a very fine tip marker or scribe, and a long ruler or straight edge. Place the straight edge on top of the...

Nothing may happen 99 times out of 100 but that one time can be a real pain! Break an ear off a lower and you are stuck. The repair would probably be more expensive than a new lower and because it is...

This is the exact reason I said to squeeze, not pound. Pounding will break things. The roll pin, the lower, the hammer, mar the surface, all those are possibilities. I seriously have no idea why...

The company I got mine from are no longer selling and they were not the best or easiest to work with. The good thing about buying quality jigs is that if you use them on a couple lowers, you can...

80% lowers can be finished with a drill press or a router. Use the jig appropriate to the tools you have on hand. No need to pay $2K+ for 80% work at all. I do know some places sell 0% blocks of...
