Thanks Glen

thank you John, I do appreciate your reply ! this forum used to be great for stuff like this.......maybe that'll get a reply

I've come across a few topics and threads that have a list of required parts for a press build and the odd one where press drawings were at one time posted but since deleted....... Im not set on any press in particular yet, many designs out there, more less looking for dimensions and measurements of already ones built if available..... maybe someone has kept there drawings or sketches from their build and wouldnt mind posting......thx

nice , been meaning to make one for a secondary forge

access to this one as well.....

Thanks TD for your reply..... 3450 5HP is what I have in the boneyard where I'd probably go 16GPM but also I have access to a 1725 5HP where I have read that a 22GPM would be better suited....not as noisy, still considering options , thanks for your reply...

Thank you sir , appreciate your reply ! all the best in 2017 !!

look like it'll work just fine , good job, nice thing about knife making is your options are endless and so are designs........... you'll always get opinions , to wide to big to fat to small to long to short........so just make what you like and what feels good to you.....forge on ! good work !
