> Paul Thorne, from Anacortes, WA, spent a weekend recently demonstrating his
> 60 ton C-frame press at the NWBA conference.
> He's a retired engineer and tends to think things through pretty thoroughly;
> the C frame is VERY stout, though I could certainly see it flex when he
> really worked it.
> A very impressive demo indeed. I may have a photo if anybody's interested-
> he's also very proud of it and would probably be happy to discuss it with
> you.
