Flypress Revival

The workshop has recently acquired two super new (old) metalworking machines, a giant bench shear and a flypress. In this video we concentrate on the flypress and get it stripped down, cleaned up and ready for work. Along the way I'll explain how it works and why it's so great!

Next video will be all about the tooling and in the one after that, I'll put the press to use making an axe.

More information on the Benson company, manufacturer of the flypress, can be found in the links below:
