Hmmmm....that press looks a little bit like what I think mine looks like......except mine is in 2 pieces and still in the crate. Bruce...do you all of your major blade forging on the press? (point, bevels, etc) I am not setup to make dies so I will have to have some made by a machine shop. I have 3 sets of holder, so that is a start. I like some of the funky dies that the guys from Center Cross use intheir videos.
Don....I have no clue. Whenever I get the addition built on my house for the shop, etc. It keeps getting larger.....now it will probably be 2 stories with a loft for my other hobbies....some future owner will no doubt use it as a bedroom but i will use it as a nursery for my stereo and guitar junk....lol. If Charlie Ochs is at the Gator Cutlery Club show this weekend, I may see if I can sweet talk him into letting me use his 50 lb Little Giant to bash out some bar stock. By the way. I will be gluing up the handle on that W2 fighter I forged before the holidays, so I will tryot post a pic. I guess that will be the second finished knife you have seen made from your W2. It turned out okay enough that I will betaking it with me to the show. It's not that embarrasing...lol
