Making a Bottom Tool Holder for the Fly Press

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Hopefully u get great use out of this tooling Roy. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge on. Weld on. Fab on. Keep making. God bless.

Thanks for sharing as we tool up.

Loving these fly press tooling videos :)

[@SoggyBottomForgeJoe]

Very cool! An idea for the thinner plate, that could solve both of your problems. Cut a hole and file it to the right size for your hardy tools and weld it to the top. Height and fitment fixed. Thanks for sharing!

[@grandadz_forge]

That tool holder is bomb proof!

[@michaelrobertson8795]

Good information Roy👍

[@nppjbrown]

Roy, great to see you enjoying your flypress. I have an H frame S&B flypress so the more content you produce the better. You might want to make an even larger bottom tool holder as it isn’t good practice to use the ram fully extended. Used mine to punch and forge a straight pein hammer head last week. The press handled the work easily. Cheers from Western Australia.

I like the free floating option. That way you can turn it on a 45 if you need to get long material through

[@dennyjudson2165]

I like your thought process. I need to do similarly with my hydraulic press.

Always learning something from you. Thanks!

Watched, thanks for the content.

The spacer plate under the bridge, make it a circle, with several rotation options for bolting it down 🤔

[@6969smurfy]

Yup but don't need full circle, just measure Plate length and divide by 2. Cut that radius on ends. Great minds as they say...

[@techronmattic5876]

If your going for the drilling and filing option, drill four small holes in the corners before drilling the centre, will save time filing in the corners, that plasma is a beast Roy

[@6969smurfy]

Hey Roy. You can measure that bottom plates length. Devide bye 2. Cut that radius on ends. Then you can tighten it down on desired angles. Peace out!

[@1noryb]

I presume you are using inert gas welding. What is the story behind the paste you dipped the torch into?

[@hannemannironworks1651]

Weld in some 1inch square tube in the plasma cut hole to get a nice tolerance

[@SteveoAtilla]

@3:52 - It looks like you snapped your drill bit, but it wasn't in the piece you were drilling through...

[@stanervin6108]

Anybody else skwench their eyes @4:46? 😎

[@Redbeards_Forge]

Everytime someone welds or does this.. I catch myself doing it and I'm like oh come on I'm not actually there Lol

[@grandadz_forge]

Doh! 2nd

[@NickandMildred]

Come on Roy , did you swear at 5:06 … :-)

[@dennyjudson2165]

Am I first? Strange!
