    I hope you feel all your hard work was justified, because I think it certainly was! I really appreciate how you thought your way out of problems, and I must say your solutions worked better than the ones I was thinking of would have. Keeping the cutting edge centered is often a real problem even with a hydraulic press, but your way worked beautifully.
