Another piece from my New Line

Here is another Tribute piece where I used a replica of an antique die. I prefer to use dies that can be modified and used in a variety of ways, such as this piece.

Hi Dana, thank you for your kind words. I do not make my own dies. I purchase them from Potter USA. He makes antique die replicas.

I looked at Kevin Potter’s website today to see if there are any instructions how to best use those dies. Do you have any tips?

Thanks!!

Thanks!! I’m not always the sharpest knife in drawer. I didn’t think about that Kevin probably has a YouTube channel.

Thanks again!!

Potter also has a really good online class about the dies and hydraulic presses that can be found on his website if you look at the options on the bottom of the page, there is one for online classes. Here is the link. Potter USA - Fine Tools. Online Classes
