    The saga of my Pepe rolling mill has been a long one, but I never got
    around to writing about it's rebirth after the shaft broke while
    rolling steel to steel hammer-texture plates. 

    I got it going again today.... then it siezed up and I had to
    completely disassemble it AGAIN and fix something I did that was
    pretty dumb , so that it won't sieze up anymore... I hope. A very
    intense afternoon it was, but the job is done and I'm rolling again. 

    I have decided, for the near future, to work towards offering flat
    plates for rolling textures. These will be hardened tool-steel plates
    with various surfaces on them, all first-generation versions. None of
    the 2nd gen. plates I was attempting to make by rolling steel to
    steel. I'm not going to push the poor Pepe so hard again. 

    I haven't figured out any prices yet, but as always, they will be as
    reasonable as I can make them, but they won't be dirt-cheap because
    they won't be mass-produced, which would more or less be the case if 
I
    could roll a bunch of 2nd gen plates off of a master. 

Stay tuned...
