Hello everybody, my name is Mike and I've been a power lineman for many years and just getting started good in knife making. I'm trying to get some decent equipment so I will be ready to get more serious when I retire in a couple of years. I started playing around doing some blacksmith items and have now made a few knives as well. I live down on the Southern border of Az. There are some really good knife makers in the area that I had planned on getting some training from but a little fight with cancer slowed me down. Now ready to get started again. I have a 2 burner gas forge, an old post vise, an old peter wright anvil and a new KMG grinder. I also have a wire feed welder and torch so I'm pretty well set up for a beginner. I am looking into getting a press while I still have a good paying job. I've been looking online at the uncleal 24 ton press from Riverside. Anyone know much about these presses.? I also have a good wood splitter but don't really want to convert it. Thanks.
