[TheForge] press vs power hammer/fly press

[Phil]

A friend of mine and I got a "twofer" deal from a
company in the northeast (99% of all the old
flypresses are in the northeast US, and Southeast
Canada).  I got a #2 or #2-1/2, the friend got a #4. 
The babbit was bad in the #4.

I really like my flypress, even though it looks like
it's made from three different ones.  I shall call it
"Frankenpress"!
