Oh boy! Free shipping for the hardware! That shipping's almost $60. I wouldn't deal with them either.

Surely one could be made from bar stock, bail twine and small fury animals...

I'm planning to travel from Tennessee to New York for the holiday season. I might just make a side trip to Pine Grove Mills, PA, and pick up a kit. That is unless someone comes up with a "bar stock, bail twine and small fury animals..." design they're willing to share...

there was someone on here that did make a die filer, EDK took his notes and made drawings for it, unless my brain is playing tricks with me again.

This one stands 8 inches tall from the bottom of the base casting to the top of the table.
The build that Bill Gruby posted here stands about 24 inches tall IIRC.
I like the look and size of Andy's castings. I just don't want to spend $60 on postage only to have the USPS destroy the contents after waiting a month and a half for them to get it here....

I see now on the web page that Andy DOES offer shipping via Fedex as well. I have no idea what he charges for that other than the extra $4.00 he also charges for driving your package to the Fedex drop-off point....

Will this be a variable speed, or a set number of strokes per minute? I have an old scroll saw that would be an excellent starting point for a die filer, but I do not have a clue as to what strokes/minute to use.

It occurs to me that this could be fabricated as a welded structure using tubing, flat stock and round bar.
