My new toy

Postby JohnDavisStringsHere » Sat Apr 06, 2019 6:14 pm

This thing is (if I have my way) going to punch hex and square holes in aluminium when I get the tool bits made..... if it does not work we will keep it for the Brazil nuts at Christmas :)

That takes me back to when I started my toolmaking career, 1976.
There was a row of flypresses, mostly with a female operator, forming various components (all the time nattering to her neighbour) at piecework speed.

If something failed, and their piecework money was in jeopardy, they were very quick (and shrill) to get me out there to fix it, pronto :shock:
