Fabulous video. Thank you for sharing this information. I’ve watched this several times and get new ideas each time. I’m across the pond, and I was watching early this morning at low volume and I heard you say, “This is just a piece of oatmeal round.” I finally figured out you said 8 mil round!

This tool seems to be one of the most vertisle tools of its time and even now. This plus a chambersburg blacksmith power hammer and anvil id argue were a blacksmiths most used/valued tools.

Hi Gary, any idea for a good source of steel block to make something that can be used as a fly press flattener (i want use it instead of a power hammer). Any help will be really appreciated.
@garyhuston6 жыл бұрын
I don't know what part of the world you're in but my first stop is always the scrap yard. They usually have lots of stuff that can be utilized. Only problem is sometimes you don't know what the steel is and can be a problem to weld.
@1day1296 жыл бұрын
Gary Huston thanks Gary, i live in london but find all the scrap yards around here will not let public in anymore. Have you ever experienced this? I will try and find one that will let me in.

No, never had that problem, they need to let you in to take the scrap! Then just ask for what you want.

hi gary, thanks for the video. do you think a fly press can be shop made? right now i`ve been doing thinks one by one but being a one man show sometimes just takes too long for the customer, i think it would be a nice addition to my shop but wanted to know the opinion of a pro that makes good use of it. thanks again. cheers. pete
@garyhuston10 жыл бұрын
I guess you could make one but the time and money involved would be quite high. They are so redily available i would just go and but one and start using it!
@thebrokenbone10 жыл бұрын
sadly i couldn`t find anything near here, and believe me i have searched. i`ve found one but is some 200 miles away and the cost of shipping is just too much. i`ll keep trying but in the meantime i`ll try to find if there are plans online (and make a cost analysis), do you know of any?. if this fails i`ll try to design (in the dark...) one, the one you showed seems the way to go for a shopmade unit (double post). thanks for your reply. pete
