Thats exactly what I had in mind...I was concidering using my automatic Bronco...Should work, albiet not as well as that hummer!

> Well ya see , big Al eh? - big, BIG, BIIIIGGGG!!

> Now all he does is stack all the forms under his 24in drill press, and
> drills 2 holes thru all the forms at once w/ a 1/4in bit anywhere, like
> ANYWHERE. Don't matter cept theys a splash or so apart. And the forms -
> like they're dirty - pcs of hambugger, pizza, pcs a', scum, hurl and
> munge! Yeeechh!

> Then 'e takes 40' of 1/4in steel cable, loops it around the closest tree.
> the two free ends are fed into the two 1/4in holes on ea form, then 11
> 1/2in of scap pipe, then another form, then pipe, until the end.

> Ties the two ends together and drops 'em over the trailer hitch of the old
> amc hummer he found in a ditch one day and backs her up to the tree.
> Redlines the hummer and drops the clutch - like just POPS the clutch - and
> he's goin 40 by the time the cable catches up.

> SPROOOOIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGG! Sparkling clean - every scrap of filth, dirt or
> scunge is flyin off in all directions, perfectly aligned, and at 8000 lbs
> of tension, perfectly straight. Slaps on a few strips or so while the
> hummer is still luggin and he has a Still-not Guillemot.

> Seriously now??? You could prob make it work:

> Prob drill the holes perpendicular (top and bottom of the form). Tie the
> end loops around the perimeter of the end forms (prob have to groove thru
> the upturns). Lay a string w/ wt attached over the cables at the front and
> the stern. When the cables tight, pry the ends untill the wted line just
> touches the bottom cable at both ends. Becaus the cable is around the end
> forms too, everything lines up. If for pulling tight, you clevis a single
> cable to the front loop and same on the back, you could spin the whole
> assy like a rotisserie
