[TheForge] New Style Lil Giant Dies

Sun Dec 1 16:38:01 2002

        Make some 1 1/4" buttons with five or six welds across the
top.......the pounds per square inch increase dramaticly when you go from a
full die to a small round with texture.  The results are instant and much
easier on the dies.  This is the perfect example of what to do with those
dies going to the lower bolt on section you were refering to earlier.
