Bill, Thanks awfully for your message. I have just this minute sent you a private message, before I saw your post but immediately after I saw your photos,so now you will understand what is going on. I look forward to exchanging ideas and gleaning the knowledge you have, There was little tooling with the machine, but it is in perfect working order and I paid the equivilant of $250. I am so impressed with the leaves in your picture and when I saw it, I thought:"what a coincidence...someone else with a Pullmax machine" Ha ha If you send me an email address, I will send a pic of the machine and you can comment accordingly. My kind regards, Kevan:D

Hi Glenn, Thanks for taking the trouble you have regarding this post of mine. It does appear to me as though there is a problem of sorts with my computer as I am no longer able to post pictures on this forum or photobucket. When I try uploading on this forum or photobucket, the normal download proceedure is followed,yet no picture appears where they are supposed to appear. I do not have enough computer knowledge to pursue the matter so that is that. Thanks for your help anyway and oh yes... there was nothing in my private message box other than those things that were there prior to this infuriating problem which has recently just surfaced. Kevan

what is my pm?

Glenn, I am having problems with pics at the moment. Even now when I try downloading to my gallery, I get "error on page" notices. I will try again and let you know. Kevan

Have just recently purchased this pullmax nibbler/punch at a most reasonable price. The problem is however, I have no idea how it works or how one actually uses it or what are its full range of applications. The internet research I have done has not been that fruitful, but I am sure that someone on this forum will point me in the right direction. It is a Pullmax P2/5 and from what I have read is a most desirable machine to have. An instruction booklet, not a manual, is available from a company in the UK at a price almost equal to what I paid for the machine. I have ordered it but until its arrival, is there anyone who could perhaps say a few, or many, words about this machine. Thanks, and please have a look at the picture in my gallery because for reasons unbeknown to me I am unable to download thumbnail pics in the message section Kevan

Home made and works so well.

Hey man, that is beautiful!

Whatever it is , I hope you don`t get too much of it into your lungs! Remember, your health is your wealth.

In all probability, the quality of workmanship and care of tools in those days would preclude having to do what you propose. But your grindstone idea is possibly what would have been used. Kevan

I often see, associated with pictures in the gallery .....&quot. What is "quot"? Kevan

I have the C41- 40kg which I have had for the past 3 years and it has proved to be fantastic in every regard. I bought it directly from the factory over the internet and what an experience of professionalism on the part of the sales staff that was. I am situated in South Africa and my hammer is one of 3 An Yungs that I know of to be in the country. For what its worth, I think the 9kg too light, but I suppose it depends on what you do. Regards, Kevan

Here`s mine. 40kg tup Anyang, Smooth, robust and really great control.

I think you should pictorially share with us how you made that picket.I, for one, would be most interested. Kevan
