Belt Tensioner

Grazing through my archive of Projects in Metal, I spotted this project in the April 1991 issue of the magazine. It is titled "A Universal Belt Tensioner" and written by D. E. Johnson. It looked like a handy tool to have in my box, so I built myself one. I don't get much practice at silver brazing, so one end looks a bit messy due to an over abundance of silver solder. The right end looks much better after having practiced on the left one.
