    A peek at the shop and knives with a local TV outdoors show

    My press has developed a stutter or stall???

    Thanks guys. The electric seems fine and the cylinder/ram moved just like before but, the whole machine sounds a bit "quieter" (thought I'd be happy about that) and it seems to stall out once it's actually exerting pressure.

    The New Shop... finally up and running again!

    Hello all, I want to apologize for my recent delay in responses to e-mail and phone calls. As many of you know I have been working to build a new shop for about the past 7 months. Well, it’s finally done and tomorrow I will fire up the forges and start the grinders, once I finish up my e-mail...
