Chris,I see you have an E-Wheel already so find a straight cut gear from a transmition shop or such,that is the same diameter as your lower anvils.Rig it to accept bearings and you have a linear stretching device that works real well on angle type stretching.Of course that doesnt take care of your shrinking problem.I cant imagine doing alot of this work without a basic set of Lancasters though.It would be the recomended tool for this,and alot of other aplications.Good luck Dan
