If thats the post you're replying to John, I should have clarified that the only ones I'd come in contact with were the winepress contraptions. I found the Masakuni Branch Benders @ Dallas and they look like they'd do nicely.

I've found that turn buckles are my best (so far) alternative to an extra pair of hands. I can see how another hand or 2 would have been helpful, but I wasn't patient enough to wait 'til our study group met.

Thanks for pointing out a couple of useful tools to me.
