Well I modeled as best I could the cooey model 39 extractor with the e-machine shop cad program off the net. Anybody with experience have an idea on how much it would take to machine say 5 of these pieces up. And

1095 would be a really good material, as I know I can get the right spring temper with it.

The only thing not drawn properly is where the thin section thickens out into the cylindrical end, it should continue to taper upwards. but its close enough, a tiny touch on the grinder can fix it before final heat and bend to shape then a spring temper.

Any ideas with it that I may be missing? The files are in the dropbox under cooey_extractor.zip cooey_extractor_text.txt

Haven't sent anything to them yet, curious what everyone here thought first to see if they might be in the ball park.Or maybe somebody here make them up... I am sure there might be a market though small for them.

IE couldn't find a program on the net to open it. If I have to work this hard to do someone a favor I don't think I'm interested. Randy

========= You have to "unpack" a zip file. Standard is winzip to pack and unpack files, but there are a large number of other programs. see

Wouldn't hurt to send the guy his shareare fee, too. He takes paypal, and when you pay him a trivial amount for the great tool in question, he actually responds with a human message thanking you for same.

If we don't support shareware producers, they'll stop producing shareware. This said as a guy who, in the 1980s, stopped writing same due to deadbeats who demanded support and new versions of software they wouldn't kick in 5 bucks for...

Irfan Wazzizname is a farkng genious with really good software. Download it, use it, and pay the guy a token amount of money.
