Hello,
I am planning my 2008 training schedule and have not been able to
find any hydraulic press classes. I know last year there was one or
two in Taos. Does anyone have knowledge of upcoming classes?
I have the bonny doon press and want to know more about using it
properly and to its full advantage!
I only have so many $$ in the training budget so I don’t want to
spend it elsewhere if a hydraulic class is available that would meet
my needs.
Thank you for your help!
Lynn

New 2008 schedule goes up by the end of the week. This one may work?
BENCHTOP PRESSES Aug. 22 24, 2008
3 Days 24 hours - $450
The Benchtop Press workshop includes the use of at least 3 different
kinds of presses that will fit neatly on a benchtop. (Screw, arbor,
and hydraulic presses.) However, most of it (90%) is centered on
using the 20-ton hydraulic press and making/using simple dies for
it. Demonstration of bending, embossing, forming, simple “pancake”
cutting, compound, and deep draw dies. You will make your own
pancake cutting and forming dies in the workshop. Practice is done on
copper and red brass sheet. Includes die steel, base metal practice
sheet, notes & patterns. Bring your own silver.
