Another one that's been around for awhile. But I want it on this site anyway. 1-1/4 4140:

Great video Grant, big boy toys.

One of my favorite shows on TV is "How It's Made".

Nice tooling for the job. Is that being done on a powered flypress ?

Makes quick work of the stake.

Yeah, that's my 100 ton friction screw press. Flypresses are sorta hybrids actually, they don't have constant tonnage and they have impact like a hammer too. Gonna have to do a little video of just my press in action and overall.

Grant I would love to see a vid of your press. I remember seeing pictures of them years ago.
