Countryforge Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Born in 1956 in Germany Helena carries a 100 KG punch she was never used to the full potential just flattening pipe for railings. We fell in love 15 years ago as I entered the shop There she sat alone, no one knowing how useless she felt. Three years ago she was deemed redundant, she was moved to the warehouse waiting for the scrap truck to arrive, I begged to save her but the massive company said no. So I got my friend at work, he said I can buy her for twice the price of scrap as scrap. Yesterday she came home with me. i will set her up in the shop and she will once again feel fulfilled Beche is her name and hammering is her game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSW Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Glad to hear you saved her. It makes me sick to see good equipment go to scrap when people want it, but the company doesn't want the "hassle" of selling it to them. Looking forward to seeing picts when you get the chance.

Frosty Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Dave misspelled waist."Warmer in the winter, more shade in the summer." I don't recall the comedian who said that but I think his wife offed him. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notownkid Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I was always told "Anything more than a handful is just a waste"From my experience it's a nice "Big Warm Heart" that is more important than what fits in your Paws. Thanks Country Forge for saving her from the scrap heap, love her and she will repay you in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
