        Bob, Maybe we could get some good topics going on hydrualic forging.
Could you post your quick lock die system to the photopage, and I'll post
some pictures also.
        It would be really great if Cameron Stoker could post some of his
punch pictures and his cold chiseling technics, I'd really like to see all
these tool ideas.
        I'll post pictures of a really nice straightening tool, a die for
making burner flares from stainless pipe, and the quick lock die mounts I
use.
        I tried to start a new album and can't figure out how to do
that......any help appreciated.  Figured it would be Hydraulic Press as a
title.

Ralph
