Planishing Hammer

[Robotstar5]

Awful lot of wood bothering goes in to making metal porn!

The pattern making shop at the foundry I was at in the 70's had 40 odd blokes working in there.

CR LAMB and daughters - have I missed this- are they starting to get involved in engineering and making hammers?

No I want them to make a decent living!

I honestly thought that I had read on a thread somewhere that you wanted to give it all up and get a job as it was nearly impossible to turn a profit.

I already have a job and run the shop evenings and weekends. So I’m doing 90 hour weeks . All these projects are commissions which I have to complete and I keep to my word
I must add there’s no such thing as wages let alone profits
I’m gifting the workshop to a pal as soon as he’s completed his building.
The quicker the better as I fear small business rates relief will be retracted when the budget is announced

In parts getting water damage.
When it goes to my pals it will be resurrected. I just can’t spend ten grand on a foundation in a rented building
