[TheForge] Vise Prices

[Rich Maynard]

How long is a piece of string?

I paid ?30 for my no3 flypress secondhand, but am looking at ?850 for a new
coke forge.

I'd say generally things are harder to get, and cost more than in the US. We
have a far smaller serious DIY-type population, and the big stores don't
approach Home Depot for their level of kit.

Sometimes I'm jealous of the kit you lot can buy off the shelf, but I'll
console myself with my newly purchased flypress.

Cheers,

Rich.
