I’d like to continue the program available on the old forum where some of the specialty, one-page-use tools would be available to users on the forum. I’ll start with the #1 Taper Reamer but please let me know if anyone else has any recommendations for tools to be a part of the tool loan program

I had a neighbor make me drill bushings for A model wing rigging. The OD is the same as an AN 3/8" bolt and the ID is 1/4". So far 5 airplanes have been done with them. User ampzapper has them and I believe he is done with them.
Yes, I’m done with the rigging tools and still have them. They’re now a little kit with a couple drill bits and reamers.
If there’s a Dynavibe prop balancer floating around I’ll need one at some point in the future. Otherwise I know you can rent from Viking or may find someone local that has one or can do it.

I also have one of the loaned (Volkes?) #1 reamers that I’m done with and would be happy to send on to the next user.

I’ve got a decent 37 deg flaring tool I’d be willing to loan out when I’m finished with it hopefully within a few weeks.
Thanks for offering! Let me know when you’re done with it and I will add it to the list.
I’m in need of a #1 taper reamer for my B-model dual stick upgrade. If there’s one that someone is willing to share, I’d appreciate it.
The parts are all powder coated chromoly now (rather than a mix of aluminum and chromoly). I mention it because there will be extra wear on the reamer and I want to make sure it’s understood before borrowing it. 
Shoot me an address. This is the one Joe K had.
