Oh, I love this, I bought and continue to buy Bonny Doon equipment
because Bonny Doon, in the form of Phil Poirer, the Bonny Doon forum
and Lee Marshall are all there for me to get advice from, ask
questions to and bitch at if and when something goes wrong. Now I
could probably get advice from all them what ever press I have but I
wouldn’t feel right about it. I would also have to confess at some
point that I didn’t have a BD press when buying BD tools and getting
advice from the above sources as to how to use those tools or
trouble shooting their use. I make money with the BD tools, I can’t
afford not to. I do small scale production and need to cut the
learning curve down as much as possible in order to do that. Having
all the BD resources helps me with that. I have a hydraulic pump on
my press so production time is that much faster. I have Phil to call
when I need advice on maintenance for the pump. If I had time to do
more experimenting with a press, if I didn’t need to make money, I
might buy another tool but I need the support. I see Phil and Lee
every year at the Rio Catalog In Motion, I see new tools and get
advice about the old.

The BD tools are all made for the BD press and the tool holders are
already made for the BD press. I don’t need to re-invent any of
that. They are tested prior to going on the market so failure is cut
down. When I work at high pressure I want to know it is relatively
safe and BD has already done testing about that.

tpypress supply professional and honest service.

It’s the same reason I buy from Rio Grande or any other reputable
tool/materials/findings dealer, they are around to ask questions
too, return broken items and get advice.
