  • What is the red pad made from that you placed over the sheet and die? Great idea.

  • I'd venture a guess that the jack is about 6 ton capacity and I base my guess on looking closely at the dynamometer, the pressure guage. The dial is probably graduated in 1 ton increments and there seems to be about 5 or 6 ranges. The operator is putting about 4 tons of pressure (8,000 pounds), per square inch.

    The metal is probably .025 aluminum with a brushed finish to enhance its appearance while still looking delicate as well as decorative.

    But, not on my Christmas tree!

    Happy 2010!

  • How strong do you reckon the press (in tons) is?

  • you forgot the "E" in awesome.

  • The metal is most likely aluminum, it requires the least amount of hydra-pressure to form the embossed snowflake. the operator has put in a block of polyurethane to form the male die, the impression is made when intense pressure at the top surface of the poly-block, forces the polyurethane into the cavity of the female die, making the impression in the aluminum plate. This is an example of dying technology, the pressing die. Today, they cast the same shit in plastic, somewhere in fucking China!

  • How thick is the metal? How strong (tons) is the press?

  • Mr.Nolte you rock!

  • You should patent the design, you could make millions at christmas time making those great ornaments. Absolutely amazing, you call it an embossing machine? Does it work on wood too
