[@allenbrown8899]

Thanks for another inspiring and informative video. I am typing this while sipping my coffee in my black and white coffee mug with a red circle on it. This man truly appreciates the time and effort you put into sharing your knowledge and skills with us. A tip of my hat to you.

Man it’s been 6 months since the best channel on KZbin has posted a new video, hope you’re just taking a break and nothing bad happened. Can’t wait for the next video!

[@AlexanderDyer]

Thanks, flattery will get you far in life. Ha ha ho jk. I will be back soon.

[@honeyislandoutfitters9887]

Another very informative video as usual. Many thanks

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Great video Alexander! I’ll have to keep my eye out for a handy junior 👍

[@AlexanderDyer]

Yes indeed.

[@dannyl2598]

Thank you.

Just got a 29K58, cleaning it up now… and it still works!!! Thanks for all the vids! I’m sure you have a impressive collection. Could you do a video one time on that?

[@asmadraoui9816]

Thanks a lot for your helpful tips and ideas 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@AlexanderDyer]

Most welcome 😊

Good stuff 👍

[@AlexanderDyer]

Thanks 👍

Interesting, I just did this modification but I had to have a couple thousandths taken off the Osborne die seat stem.

[@horacerumpole6912]

Any links for grommet suppliers?

[@jholden0]

Quick question. Where do you pick up your industrial machines? I have a few from government auctions, and Craigslist. However, decent machines are few and far between. It could just be an illusion of KZbin, but it seems like you pick them up weekly. Any insight would be amazing.

[@AlexanderDyer]

I think you are hitting all the same spots that I do. Auctions, estate sales, craigslist, facebook marketplace. I don't even get one a month on average I've just been doing it for some years. Keep hunting and you will keep winning.

Can you do a video making the table you use for your presses?

[@AlexanderDyer]

Thanks for the good idea.

[@stephanefrereault4659]

Thanks for making such great videos. It is very helpful. I have tried to find that pin for my handy press but didn't have any success. Would you mind giving me a link or how I can find it? That would be much appreciated. Thanks an keep the good work 👌

[@AlexanderDyer]

You will need to find a distributor. I have included the part number and all the info I could glean in the description. I know it is not a link but I hope the info helps you.

[@scottfuller1264]

Did you need to turn down the stem on the Osborne die base for it to fit in the hole in the Handy Jr. base?

[@AlexanderDyer]

I did not do any machining.

[@dianehouseman2056]

I'd like to convert my Handy Jr to be able to set metal snaps. How would I go about it?

[@AlexanderDyer]

There is a die set for every single snap. First decide on your snap and die set. Then you can figure out how to hold the dies in the press. I use an arbor press for snap dies. You can see it next to the Handy. Here is the arbor video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/boqkqGBnaMitirMsi=beRWGcQ5bia01IkE
