Very nice. The scroll work is overlay?

I am building some buckle forming dies for hydrolic press forming,simple and effective.I might have to post these in B&S .
Sorry for stepping on yer post Beau, Might give you some ideas though.

Those are some fancy looking dies Dave, sure would love so see some process pictures on how you use them.

Monk, I cut everything from sheet, I rarely use the the exact same shape or size. Always modify and changing designs. Thanks

 

[Beau Compton]

No worries, Nice looking dies Dave!
