Has anyone had hands on experience with this press?
Any opinions, comments, reviews or recommendations.

Thanks in advance.

I have no personal experience with Big Blu, but isn't that what they have on Forged in the Fire? The one on Forged in the Fire seems to work very well.

They use an Uncle Al's press on Forged in Fire. The power hammer on the show is a Big Blu though

Thank you.

I’m pretty sure that’s what Jason Knight uses. He has some videos of it on YouTube.

Yes, I have seen him using the BBHammer, but not the BB 50 ton Press.

Thank you.

It’s basically the same thing as the mcnabb press was I think. If I’m not mistaken Hoffman uses one in his production shop

Thank you for the reply. I hate to buy anything without doing some research, getting opinions and /or reading reviews by folks with hands on experience. I have emailed Jason Knight, hopefully I will receive a reply. Thanks again.

He’s easy to get a hold of on Instagram, send him a message.

 

[NihontoEd]

Don't have instagram. Thanks though.

Search Hoffman blacksmithing and you can see some vids of use on YouTube

 

[NihontoEd]

Will do. Thanks
