For a few specific tools there's: http://bikesmithdesign.com/
Mark Stonich is known in the recumbent bike world for frame building and bike design. When Park Tool stopped making a cotter pin press and we need to replace our old one we got two from him. They are very simple, and are still in good working order five years later.

As far as I know, Stein is still at it. My experience is that it's not uncommon for things to take a long time and for communication to be slow/lacking- Perhaps a trademark of the one-person shop of a tool-maker.
Hope he comes through for you! There are a number of other jig manufacturers if not: Sputnik tool, Henry James Bicycles, Anvil Tools, Bringheli. . .
Take Care-

Has anyone ordered from JA Stein lately? We have several specialty tools we'd like to order from him (frame and fork jig) and haven't heard from him since December.
If he's not making tools anymore, does anyone know of any other toolmakers who can produce the more uncommon tools?
Best, Leslie Durham Bike Coop
