The wife “smashed” Father’s Day with some “coal iron” happiness!

[civilsmoker]

So the wife went way out of the box for Fathers Day this year......this is what was delivered this AM.....

Coal Iron Works 12 ton mini press!

I

Fired it up already and this thing is just cooooooolllllll!!!!!!!!!

She got flat dies, drawing, square, & a blank set. This is going to totally change up the Damascus that I can make! Also no more 6 hour burning propane for one San mai knife.....I’m so looking forward to doing canister Damascus! Like I said the wife smashed it!

I have a buddy that is a machinist. Whenever I need something done, I bring it over to the shop at the start of the day 7am sharp, along with 10# of homemade boudin warmed up ready to eat. The boudin is for the office manager and the guys in the shop...my parts are usually ready end of the day. Sometimes I'll just stop by and drop off boudin just to keep them happy!! LOL!!

Looks cool! No idea how to use it tho.

You must have been doing an awesome job on your honey do list! That will be sweet and way quieter than a trip hammer!

Thanks MJB! It’s a recently new approach to presses for knifes. It has a smaller dies area for smaller production it’s also very portable vs that massive pressed of old.

Many thanks and appreciation yankee! The wife is a keeper for sure! Home run!

I grew up in a very small town and we had to do everything ourselves. I always loved doing both metal and wood work....in high school I spent 1/2 my junior and senior years building horse feeders and trailers for farmers as “animal science” to fill my biology and science credits.... it’s amazing how flexible a school is when you aid in getting donations to the programs.....

Nice set up! Great thinking with the power pack versus hand pump. We have both at work. A 12. And 24 ton job for the "light"work. Pulling bearings from a 4"shaft is a breeze with them! And the noise when they break loose is music to my ears!

Nice civil looking forward to seeing your first project.
