Thanks for posting the picture! I got a little too close to a tree this weekend and put a bend in one of my radius arms. I couldn't remember how to set up the jack.

Looks like Chris's was the easy axis. They are usually the difficult, tougher axis.

That IS a clever use of materials at-hand.

I used my 20-ton shop press on my cast I-beam rods.
