[TheForge] flypress

Tue Sep 23 23:25:00 2003

As a 30-year user of a flypress told me when I asked him the same question, he said, "It's the same thing."

See this month's Hammer's Blow for a good article about this fellow, John Crouchet. The author, Larry Stevens, wrote this after seeing John's demo at Ironfest in late May.

For a look at the debate that sometimes arises about "flypress or treadle hammer, which do I need," go see habairon.org and look for the interview link, look for John Crouchet article.

Can someone explain the difference between the popular flypress used by blacksmiths and the screw press or tryout press used in die shops. How are they different?
