    Thanks everyone, I've got a quote on some FX2, looks like great material for dies. Hoss

    I'm getting ready to order die material, anyone have any experience making dies they want to share? Also I need help with foundation plans. Hoss

    Nope, this one came out of southern California and was in a shop that made shanks for backhoe teeth . I've had this one for 12 or more years. It was bought in 1951 by H&L company. I've never had this one running. I need recommendations for the foundation and for dies. Everything looks pretty good so far. Thanks everyone, Hoss

    A peek inside the cylinder. There is a little rust near the top but the rest looks good. Hoss

    Here's a couple of pics of the rust on the tup and a broken packing collar. Looks like the collar has been broken for a while. What's the best way to deal with the rust? What's the best way to weld/repair the broken collar? Hoss

    I have an older 5-I that I'm thinking of putting into service. There is some rust and I think it was heavily used. If anyone has experience with these please let me know what to look for. Hoss

    I'm new here at IFI. I've been making knives since 1978 and forging damascus since 1986. I know some of you already. I'm looking forward to being a member here. Devin Thomas aka Hoss

    Is it hot rolled or cold rolled? From the sparks it looks like mild steel. Hoss

    Looked them up, looks like they only sell one size, SM50. I apologize for my ignorance. Hoss

    What's the ram weight? Is it also a 88? Looks like fun. Hoss
