Very cool 'stuff', looks like all were having a great time. Wish you lived closer! I'd visit just to take a look around that shop.

Thanks, Will.
There was a variety of interests. Good to see the interested young lads.

I'd like to try and make it to one of these classes

Kent, what type of machine is that, that is being used in the last picture of the guy wearing yellow ear protectors? More pictures?? What type of dies??

I agree Will. If Kent was on the Right side of the country I'd attend every one of his classes. Because he's living on the Wrong side of the country, I mostly have to content myself with watching his videos, which are superb.

Thank you for your compliments, guys. :)

The machine is a new reproduction of an old (little-known) ERCO power shrinker, which we sell here. (The ERCO 476 is much more widely known but more unreasonable to deal with - :o )
An instructive video of the machine making some small parts is here:

We make the jaw sets for it, in both the standard shrink-stretch and extended shrink-stretch configurations.

The fellow in the ylo ear-protectors was trying to stretch some 20ga steel, and learned about the "power of separation" with the grab-and-yank stretch jaws. I told him not to feel too badly, that we also sell them to other victims. :rolleyes:
