[@SquareOneForge]

Just invested in a No. 8 thanks for sharing your knowledge, very helpful. I can’t wait to work quietly and efficiently.

Thanks for the demo. Greetings from Durban South Africa. Just found a Norton Number 3 on a farm near my home $70 ...... perfect condition. I will be fabricating a few tools shortly.

Would you mind showing a pic of how you have your bottom tools held? I’m trying to come up with some new ideas for mine.

I have just became aware of Flypresse's . I think I will get one to do some forging of parts. I see it is very capable for the job!

Hey there, I believe its the greatest piece of equipment that can be added to a shop for a smith working alone. thanks for watching.

[@jamesgroomes1812]

mine is on a concrete base.

[@cholulahotsauce6166]

What tidy welds you have.

Subbed James - Im a 60 yo retired guy blacksmithing for 2 years with weak shoulders but a 6 tonne flypress! Looking for ideas and tooling. my first paid job is making a couple of 6' dia steel rings ?

Nice video - Thanks for sharing. Too bad these tools are so very rare (at least in the USA)...and extremely expensive to buy, when you can find one.

Do a vid on making a hammer with a fly press 👍👍

[@jamesgroomes1812]

Thank you, While dinner was on I threw what clips I had together of forging 4140 forming hammer, which I put a large handle too and have since used very aggressively forging bowls! which is what is coming next.

i've seen and used a lot bigger fly press which exerts approx 1 ton per square cm which is why it is called a 1 ton fly press and was called a "CHALMERS" brand of a 1 ton fly press.ok!!!!!
