Thanks for the compliment. They turned out better than expected for my first trial. I used a simple dimple die and a Harbor Freight H frame press. I had a friend of mine make the die for me at his machine shop.(He owed me a favor) I am planning to make some more sizes this winter when I take a machining class at the local community college. I looked at the DV8 dies. Those are really nice, but hard to justify the cost for the frequency I will use them.

Yes, I painted it with POR15 after it was welded to the frame.
