[TheForge] Treadle Hammer drawing dies

[Barking Crow]

Hey Doug,

Thanks for the input.  I guess it's all relative.  I'm used to working on
the little Delta 1" vertical belt sander with an aluminum oxide belt.  I
worked on the Grizzly for hours every day at the workshop and did get a
chance to try a bader a few times.  It was very nice but I guess what I'm
after is an entry level grinder.  I've been trying to justify the $400 it'll
cost with postage and some belts for the week that I've been back from the
tool workshop.  If I knew someone that had one for sale I'd try to trade an
anvil or something else for one to keep from putting out the $$.  On the
other hand, I do have some unchecked lotto tickets in my wallet.

I don't expect to do much in the way of knife making, but just want to
upgrade for general grinding and the occasional knife.


Thanks again, Jeff
