Peter I've offered to buy the FW and extractor from George. He wants a check in the mail, which I will happily provide, but I'm not going to be in front of my checkbook until after Labor Day. Anyway, we'll get there....
I also could probably do the modification of a normal extractor on my lathe, but that also would wait until after labor day. George's tool gets us there for a lot less work.
