DON’T FAKE IT, MAKE IT
The only way to make money in your shop is to be able to do the job quickly and efficiently. This means having the right good equipment and tooling. But when you get caught needing a special tool and there’s no time to wait, just look for something in the shop to make it out of. I needed an extra-long guide driver, so I made one out of an old Caterpillar valve and it worked fine.
