Well said. Not only do we get a chance to purchase some of the finest details available through current technology but an education as well.
I had no idea of what a Swage Block was/is until the Blacksmith Shop set was available. So thanks to Brett's careful and thorough research about what a competent blacksmith would have at his disposal and available in his shop, and a bit of research on my part I now know. It makes for an interesting trivia question. Neat detail among a host of other fine details.

I look forard to your work on the incredible Blacksmith set.
The Farmall Regular is considered a revolutionary tractor by many historians. Manufactured by McCormick-Deering at their Rock Island, Illinois plant, over 134,600 were built between its introduction in 1923 and discontinuance (in favor of an updated model) in 1932. I thought this was a great year to bring this to you as it celebrates its 100th Anniversary. The “regular” was the first mass-produced row crop tractor. With its higher ground clearance and standardized features, she was an instant success and helped further the mechanization of America at a crucial time in our history.
I am so blown away with this model, what a beast! I believe its design bridges the earlier steam powered tractors and combustion engine tractors. Utilizing the latest generation of 3D printers, the quality of the parts are just amazing. I cannot wait to get these latest parts in your hands! The Farmall Regular will be available later this month in both HO and O Scales along with another new 3D Printed kit. Look for a sneak peek at that second kit this week. Be sure to sign up for my newsletter to be notified when these are available. I really appreciate the overwhelming support for my 3D Printed parts and kits. I truly cannot thank all of you enough.
