Thank you for your kind and generous words, Leland.
As a 90 year old, I know what you mean about lifting heavy stuff.
My vise has been eating well and gains about 10 LBS each day!!
Keep on producing great work with your foot wheel and post some of it on the Cafe, please.
Hope to get to see how...
Hello JB the Apprentice.
If you decide to go with the Rock Island GI you might put in a post on the FEGA forum,
www.fega.com for some names of , and people to help you with the takedown and prep work.
Just a thought. And best of luck with your project.
Hi Monk,
If that was meant for me, thank you for the kind words.
You are in the trenches everyday mentoring the Cafe Forum.
Thank you for all you do to keep this an active, safe and sane meeting place.
Leland, looks like you made a good and useful kick wheel bench. Congratulations.
See you included a good and heavy 'flywheel" to stabilize the hammer taps to the cutting tip, well done.
Enjoy. Hope your bench continues to serve you well for many years.
There are some excellent engravers in Florida and near by states.
Under normal conditions an invited invitation to their shop would be a help in giving you some answers and ideas of your direction.
But with the Plague upon us, that makes an invite a problem. But make some calls, give it a try...
Maybe our FEGA historian will see your post and reply.
If anyone knows his engraving career it will be Roger Bleille, FEGA Historian.
Tony does not appear in Roger's American Engravers books.
Very nice stock-making, Evgeni.
Expect you enjoyed the Olympics and seeing the ladies from Bulgaria do so well.
Hope the youngsters are still paying attention and learning some of your skill.
