    They crazy thing about the current world is that i could buy an entire planishing hammer with all the trimmings for LESS money than i’d have to pay for a local machinist to make JUST one or two of those dies you got made.
    What a beautiful thing you built. But that is just par for your course! Thanks as always for letting us hang out and watch. Can’t waIt to watch you using it!! 😊👍👍

    • @ratrodsafrica
      @ratrodsafrica  Год назад

      No man, can't be! A cheap planishing hammer goes for around $250 -300, the better ones $1000 upwards. What kind of rates are they charging? I'm sure you'd be able to buy a set of dies online in your part of the world

    • @aceadman
      @aceadman Год назад

      @@ratrodsafrica cheap hammer with three dies is about $220. To get three dies made from scratch could easily be more in NY USA. A machine shop here would likely charge a rate that would make your head explode. Mine head explodes here all the time! 😊😆. Unless it comes from China, nobody here can afford ANYTHING! 🤮
