Thanks Larry, Grant was right you have got the moves down. It's nice when you have a big enough order to get set up like that where you can get a nice flow of work.

Turns out I was aggressive enough with the pricing that I didn't get the bending job, my customer didn't get the job. It would have been a nice job to get at the premium price to but I don't mind being able to take part of this afternoon off and not pissing off my other customers.

I will drag the jig off the high shelf one day next week and snap some pictures. It is not really anything special just a plate with a bunch of holes in it.

Hi John
We no longer do many points or chisels or wide chisels either, but I just taper the ashphalt cutters or wide chisels on plain dies, give them a quick run over with a roundback to smooth the hammer marks out then we grind the edge back to where it should be and put an edge on it all with our linisher. If we charge $5.00 each for points and chisels we charge about $7.50 to $8.00 each for a wide chisel.

Larry,
The only description is "Slick" mate, It may not be much to see but certainly worth the look! Thanks.
