Good evening Sir, would you or anyone know if the process this gentleman appears to be using in a still shot during this video of him using some sort of man powered gravity die casting rig ”forgive the lack of terminology“ is or was a common practice? It just looked very intriguing to me thanks for sharing this.

it's not for die casting, it's for die striking, like for minting coins. and yes, Amayak built that and had to reinforce the floor of his garage to take the pounding. he told me about it at the Blade Show some years back.

I appreciate the information kind Sir, I find the ingenuity and expertise of others to be awe-inspiring.
