    Gathering bits for the press. Have the ram, a PTO driven 28 gallon per min pump, the front frame off a forklift for the main frame. Looking for a big hydraulic tank...have a beer keg so may use that. Then just a double action spool valve and some hydraulic pipe and i can think about assembly!

    fantastic! I would love the spec on that press. Motor size, pump flow rate etc. Definitely on the cards to make.

    Superb! I like the extra curve on the sambar.

    Nick Argi is the guys name that makes them. He had an ebay shop but i don't see any of his at the moment. google him there is plenty of info out there. General consensus is his is one of the best value for money machines. I got mine second hand and it was already fully upgraded with a 3 phase 2hp motor running off an inverter/ speed controller so it is infinitely speed adjustable and plugs into a 240 volt supply. Also had various radius wheels etc with it. Can't remember but think it was £450-500 ish....it was a good deal anyway for what it is. Probably about half the price of all the kit new

    Yeh this bloke makes a press from a cheap log slitter Link think i would go a bit bigger though. Or a scrappy power hammer might be a cheaper build. Scrappy hammer.

    Yes first canister weld i have tried. Seems to have worked ok. A hydraulic press or a power hammer i think will need to be on my short list of projects!

    Had it fired up again today trying a bit of chain Damascus from a motor bike chain.

    Aye Jok, even mad enough to have a shave with that cut-thought razor you gave me! ? Sharpened up pretty good!

    It is an idea that has been floating around in my head for a while....using wast oil to fire a forge up to welding temp. Anyone that does much forge welding knows fuel is expensive! I was looking to keep it as simple as possible so gravity fed fuel and low pressure air with no fancy nozzles to get clogged. This is the solution i came up with. Based around an old propane bottle. Filled with water and cut top and bottom off. P1090436 by Terry Griffiths, on Flickr">P1090437 by Terry Griffiths, on Flickr">P1090438 by Terry Griffiths, on Flickr"

    Thats what home made knives are all about. Have a go then have another go. We all start somewhere- those are both as good as my first knife.? Keep at it lads.

    Good to hear from you Matt. It was yourself that re-kindled my interest in knife making and my lad has now taken it up too. Any thoughts of taking it up again yourself? Regards Griff

    The old oil i am using as bait actually has another benefit. The traps are working super smooth, easier to draw back and the triggers are more sensitive.
