    Chris:
    I just PM'ed an order for a 4-row die, punch, and nut. Now I got to cast some of those monsters up so I've got something to run through the die when it gets here.

    I have been buying dies from Chris for a while and they always are number one quality. I recently bought the Star Luber handle that Chris makes and it is an outstanding help for me. Shortly, I am buying another sizer and will continue to buy dies from Chris.

    He does an excellent job.

    I have a very serious problem with Chris' dies !!!

    They are so beautifully crafted AND so very reasonable I want several more. The "problem" is I do not have any money left this month !

    They may be the very best items available on this Forum ! !

    I ordered a die and punch for .358 about a week ago, got it today, and set it up. It is a beautiful piece of work and after I filled unwanted lube holes and used it, it performed fantastically! All I can say, for the price, the value is fantastic! Thank you, Lathesmith, for your fantastic work!

    Many THANKS to you Lathesmith!

    As a new and learning boolit caster I wasn't sure what size die/punch configuration I was needing. I traded emails with Lathesmith and he was very helpful in answering my questions. I have done a couple of transactions in this last month. I am very satisfied with the true craftsmanship and all round ease of ordering. In fact I went to the mail box yesterday and my package was waiting. I wasn't expecting it for at least a couple of more days.

    Thank Again Lathesmith...........I'll be back!

    Just got my star sizer last night and finally got a chance to use the dies I bought from lathesmith and what can I say, it all works beatifully. I went through most of the .45s I had on hand at home in 20 minutes.



    Using homemade felix lube, just melted it and poured it into the sizer, meant to make it blue but but the lube was yellow-reddish on its own so it turned out green instead, still it works so who cares?
