Congrats on a well deserved award Hapur!!!
I agree, this thread is an eye opener for some.
Thank you for your tips on die production! Cool

By the way, concerning your baby's eye hook fractures, I have had great success welding cast iron using a mig welder with C/O shielding gas.
The trick is to gouge enough of the broken edges off to get the proper temperature and heat sink, and the right wire speed.
All the BEST,
Pauli
