Carnage Thread

I had the pleasure of observing @lBasket practice his duct tape repair at the camp ground, he is truly a master craftsman.

He was looking pretty good at prom.

a little late on posting but this is the extent of my carnage from TJ Fest. Anyone have advice on straightening it back?

I'd pull the arm and use a BIG crescent wrench. bending it a bit at a time and closing it a little every time. It's worked for me in the past.

I've had to do that more than once... but I usually don't have to pull the arms... usually you can get enough wrench on it to get it started, then reposition

That's good to know. I haven't had this problem specifically, but I just figured dropping the joint on that mount would make it easier to get the crescent in there.
I've used that method to straighten out other things.
