[TheForge] Speaking of presses ...

[Dave Brown]

Thanks Jim.  This one is an Enerpac and was in use in a pattern making 
company's shop.  I went to the HF store this morning and the press frames 
that they sell are considerably less sturdy looking.  I think that if the 
price is right I'll have to bid 'til I win.

Dave
p.s.

Have they regained their senses on that other list yet?  Or should I 
continue my protest withdrawal?
