25lbs little giant power hammer rebuild

I decided i wanted to try to make my own two piece die system inspired by what little giant offers.
With the bottom half wedged in and the top half bolted on it. This should make die changing faster and making custom dies easier.

Made a pair of combo dies and drawing dies to go on the two part die system. These bolt on dies work really well and make die changes a snap.
