Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

I'm finding I have a love/hate relationship to this thread, I love seeing what tools & machinery that other members have....& I hate that I don't have some of these fine tools...lol, Bill, you've packed so many fine tools into that shop that there's no way its 10'X20' , I also spotted a metal roller/brake & are those dies on your hydraulic press for boiler end cap making?
FYI...something I just found out is Jim Byrnes has passed away last year & they are not selling any machines at this time, only parts, so sad, I hope they continue on. I have one of their thickness sanders & it's really a nice tool.

Bruce, we have many of the same tools and the same love/hate relationship to this thread.

The dies on the press were from when I made a new "copper boiler" to replace the rusted out one a Line-mar atomic steam engine.
very tedious and time consuming, lots of heating and re-heating, I'll not be doing that again.

I did not know that Jim had passed, very sad.
