Fw: [TheForge] Twisting question

Tue Jan 8 14:53:38 2002

        Rick,  I was at a meet one fall when Carl Close was demonstrating
reposee work for us.  It was five years ago and he mentioned that book as
"the one to get".   Carl also said it was  a great book to look thru every
six months to get more ideas after you've tried a few.  This advice is what
I do with it and I figured if Carl who is light years ahead of me gets
something out of it each time, it must be a decent book.  I've found this to
be true when I'm stuck on a tool or process - I turn to this or Lilico's
Smithing Manual for some great ideas.

Ralph
