One of the slickest setups I have seen was a mechanic who had made his
own jigs. He used various tranny gears and parts of the tranny housing
to builld the jigs by both welding and machining so they did whatever it
was they were suposed to do. I didn't really appreciate the specifics of
which did what, but I appreciated the ability to make up those tools and
to get it done.
