I used to try and do that, but it takes for ever to get a machine like that engineered and working properly. Plus every hour you work on it your not making your shop rate. As you know when your in business, your either earning money or losing money. There is no more free time.

Hey no prob Greg I am building a CP style hammer using an AIRBOSS hammer the head looks like a quality piece and it comes with a few lower dies for $500 although like Roger states your either making money or losing money and thats why I've been "working on it" for 6 mo. too busy trying to make money
