    Punching with a Hydraulic Press

    A while back I made some gates that involved a lot of punching, something like 30 off 80x12mm slots through 40x60mm bar... the hardway up.

    A few months back I met Grant over on IFI and was kinda flattered when he asked me to write a "column". Sorta think he was getting a bit mixed up with the North West and Blacksmith things. Me?
