I will eventually want to get the dies for my big hammer hardened
they are 4" x 4" x 10"  4340. The top one will have 'ways' for bolts
cut into it similar to this http://magichammer.freeservers.com/page5.html
only 10" long and the bottom die will be welded to a mounting plate.
Like this http://magichammer.freeservers.com/page7.html again 10-12" long.
Who / where can do this for me and how much will it cost?
