    Another good use for hedge wood. Those dies will last a day less than iron. Great tech .

    Great job!

    I think R&C had an article like this back in the pre-credit card days...

    BTW, as an alternative, it seems like the dies could be carved in a softer wood, and then cast in aluminum...

    Nah, he shoulda' made the cuts w/ a home-made cutoff wheel. Then it'd be impressive...
