You're probably the most "honest" maker I watch on the Tube. I love your approach to things and your clear love for making stuff. I'll confess you've become a bit of a therapist to me over the past few years of watching your videos. There are times when watching one or ten of your videos is exactly what I need to soothe myself and take my mind out of ruminations and into a more clear and directed space. Thanks for what you do.
I've never even heard of a fly press before, but now I feel like I can't live without one! Thanks for showing us your ingenious tool holding mechanism. Beautiful!
Also, what is fun and amazing is that Pask is all over the place with his content; you're never quite sure which rabbit hole (or should that be "warren"?) he's going to dive down.Neil has an economy of words that many RUclipsrs are oblivious to and under-appreciate that they would be better served if they chose not to "big-note " themselves, rather that they presented their "take on a subject" as sysinctly as possible. The American-German architect, Mies van der Rohe said, "Less is more". Neil has this in spades.
Neil, absolutely have to agree, a fly press would be an amazing addition to most any persons' shop. This upgrade you've made for yours is an absolute major one, so well executed. Must be so great to be able to basically make nearly any tool or piece you need to make other stuff, your workshop is definitely super sweet and well setup, know there's lots of jealous hobbyist out there who watch your channel.
Thank you so much, Neil. You've absolutely blew my mind with the versatility of the fly press. This is a life saver as I cannot use even a small power hammer where I am due to the noise and I can tell from your video that a fly press will be able to do small forging stuff I need it to. That's not even talking about another video example of your ingenious way of problem solving. These fixture plates are amazing. And then you've gone and done it with giving us access to your free plans!! I am speechless. You are such a good man, Neil, thank you!
A short piece of stock welded to the tightening screw for the top die and you would have a tool less change set up. Still very brilliant in it's simplicity while allowing increased function. You sir are a master at that, and I love it.
I absolutely love my fly presses, from flateing to bending to punching to cropping to pushing in and out bearings and a million more uses, I had a customer want me to design and build a small hydraulic press with interchangeable tooling so they can punch tube from 100m dia to 400mm dia 3mm thick so I said have seen or used fly presses and they said no they want hydraulic, I said ok but went and found a bar fly press made some punch and dies then told the customer to come in and see, it blew his mind at how simple and universal it was, he now has 7 presses set up and loves the fact it doesn't need power. I noticed on yours you have your clamping top bolt on the side, you need it at the front so you get more stroke and won't sheer the bolt off and if you bending anything yo can get more height on an angle. 👍👍👍👍
Awesome Ricardo! That's why I love them too, so versatile. The bolt for the top tool only limits the travel by a couple of millimetres. There isn't a heap of clearance on the bigger press, there's quite a bit more on my smaller one. :)
What I always like about your videos is use of precision, many yt machinists use overly complicated measuring equipment to make their projects but you show that these aren't always necessary to get precise results
You could mill a 45° chamfer on the other 2 edges of the tool base plate so you can rotate the tool 90°. I think some of the fullering dies would benefit.
What a beautiful project. I'm sure it is going to really come in handy and its always a pleasure to see you use your mill and lathe! If I could suggest something in the eyes of speed and efficiency, you could turn the bolt which keeps the top part of the die in place into a handle so you don't have to grab an Allen-key every time but rather just twist it by hand
Outstanding Neil! Love the versatility and almost unlimited possibilities of your system. A true quick change system that can morph over time and use, just the best! Thanks for the great videography, your amazing mind and craftsmanship! Always a treat!
I am consistently amazed (and amused) by your design and engineering skills. From concept to design to issues to resolutions to an amazing finished product..............Brilliant!
Neil, your creativity and ability to work through challenges is simply amazing and inspiring. I believe that you have genius built into your genes and your channel, in my opinion is one of THE very best here on youtube!
I love watching Pask work! It has been entertaining and educational to watch as he acquires tools, learns how to use them, and then customizes them to fit his style. Of course Pask loves the fly-press: it’s just a giant stationary hand tool! lol
Apart from the fact that I find most of the projects super interesting, I would like to praise the cinematic quality. Super picture quality, good illumination, never boring, but not too fast either, so you can understand everything well. Thanks for the great videos!
You know you are going to see amazing things when Pask says: "While I was doing X I also made A, B, C, D, etc. [ 14:38 ]. (And, yes, always a highly professional finish.) Well done!
After playing with my new fly press I can really appreciate how great of an idea and design this is! Now ive got to get to the shop and make some! Awesome work!
You could actually make it more compact by getting rid of the top plate at the fixed side. The dovetail will prevent upwards movement anyway. An added bonus is that you can use those extra counter sink after all.
@@PaskMakes Machine shop work taught me that chips can even quantum tunnel into places previously thought impossible, but taking some extra precautions is fair enough. Thought I'd mention it in case you ever need that little bit of extra clearance ;)
Very beautiful design. Really like how that is quick release design. Hopefully you get great use out of it for many years to come my friend. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep making. God bless.
I particularly love that you show your mistakes. After another day in my own workshop I noted that if I videod my work, there would be more mistakes than accomplishments. 😄
I've been a machinist for 35 years, so I can relate to making jigs for saving time and changeovers. You've got me looking for a fly press now, as it would be very handy in my shop. Wonderful video!
Neil, your videos never disappoint. You showcase your skills with excellent videography, scripting, narration and editing. You are a true renaissance man.
Your creativity, skill and knowledge are unmatched, and you are so honest an humble showing everything during the build. I learn so much watching you, thank you!!
Suggestion for an upgrade, to keep the floating dove tail from falling out. Mill a slot in the dove tail and add a roll pin to the underside of the cap plate. You will never see what holds it in and it will look really cool.
Great design and execution. All I'll add is that the cam lever could be improved a touch by rotating its action to 3 o'clock rather than 1 o'clock. Also make it the opposite sense, i.e. clockwise to engage and anticlockwise to release. Watching you engaging (at 16:18) by pushing at the back at a less than easy angle made me realise this. Pulling to tighten will be easier too I think. All you'll need to watch is that the handle clears access to the attachment bolt when it is fully disengaged (anti-clockwise). Hope that helps.
Thanks for another fascinating video. I really appreciate the way you include your thought processes and problem solving during the fabrication of stuff like this. Well done indeed!
I love this channel!! I am a retired engineer and I have always designed items with at least one method of manufacturing in mind. Developing parts, assemblies, and products requires constant problem solving. I have enormous respect for those who can do this and enjoy it...not to mention share it on RUclips!! Great job!! I look forward to all of your future videos!!
I like these jig plates... It does make things go quicker, if not more efficiently. Plus looks professional with all your custom tooling. Me personally, Ive done similar, but had a handle attached like Epoxy sealed wood or plastic. Just to soften the blow a bit when your not too sure when you hit that lever to secure you tool... you dont just rightly square your palm with a some what hard corner. Or another idea is , just keep a dedicated small brass hammer or pounder tool for the presses... EDIT: Try not to ground to moving surfaces.... Ground to base or at the point of welding, as to avoid arc striking the bearing(s), machined sliding surfaces ect... One can seize an entire machine like this if an high enough amp strike occurs.
I had no intention of ever making a fly press but the clear step by step walkthrough of how you made it and made adjustments was really excellent. But by the end I now need a fly press in my life!
Today I learned quite a few things I'll probably never use in my life, but it's very enticing watching you make things and get some inspiration. Best regards.
I remember buying one 30 odd years ago when I was self-employed fab & machining and I definitely remember them being an expensive tool to buy, even secondhand... perhaps it was because here (Ireland) hasn't got a big market for the things... 🙄🤷🏻♂️
The fly press in this video cost me about $200usd and the one I upgraded to, despite being 25% bigger was $100 USD (but needed a lot of work) they come up regularly in Australia
Beautiful work. Always better to spend the time now to save alot of time later. I was very lucky as a young man in my early 20's , after passing my first welding cerification. And to have worked under 2 great mentors. They always stressed the need for jigs and fixtures.
I can see the top of the fly press being modified so that it doesn't require a tool to release the die. also can see a method to align the die so that it's just slapping in the die and turning a lever for even faster tool change Maybe a small wheel at the end of the bolt and a step on the collar
I would love to start up the blacksmith shop on our family farm. My grandfather’s blacksmith was the son of former slaves who made as a condition of their continued employment on the farm that the owner send their son to school. He did for six months and from there the fellow educated himself to know calculus. The blacksmith shop was known as Clemons’ Forge.
Always a pleasure watching your videos Neil and I have to say even an element of excitement when the thumbnail shows what is going to be done. I'd love to get a fly press myself as I really like what you've done with yours. Great video mate 👍🏼👍🏼
@@PaskMakes I certainly will Neil. Being the UK and were I live in Norfolk, They're few and far between but I keep looking on the hopes I'll get hold of one mate 😉
I really admire your woodworking projects and love how your channel evolves into something better and interesting. Looking forward to seeing more of your projects using your new dies. 👌🏽
I don't know if it's the Australian accent, the knowledgable explanation or that quiet confidence, but I can never stop watching these videos. I don't even do metal work, never seen this machine before.
Awsome build, I think I could use something like it. But with a few modifications, I'm gonna start drawing tonight!👌🏻 And a tip! When you're countersinking, use half the drill speed of the largest diameter what you're going to countersink, and double the cutting-oil and double drilling pressure. It will stop chatter, give a super clean surface and your countersink bits will last way longer.👍🏻
Just a tip for using the mill, milling with the end of the tool puts significantly more wear on the corners than if you cut with the side, and cutting from the sides you can spread the wear out along more of the cutting edges. When the corners go, you've pretty much killed it so you want to save them for when you need to actually cut a slot or corner. Facing the top of parts is better done with a fly cutter or face mill.
I love that he shows his errors and is so humble for the great stuff he always pulls off. Definition of a Maker.
He is one of the best makers I ever worked with. Creative solutions to all problems….
I totally agree 👍🏼
His mistakes are so relatable, too. Little boneheaded moves we all make.
Thanks Scott! :)

Ha! I was thinking the exact same thing. Never heard of the device before this. RUclips recommendations FTW! Thank you so much Mr Pask.
@@harryhalfmoon Here in The Netherlands they are also used in the hospital, in the plaster cast room.

@@janfieten2449 what do they use it for in relation to plaster casts?
Glad you enjoyed it Wally! :)
Always fun to watch you problem solve and make things efficient - and neat to see the "quiet" tools in action :)
Thanks Tharemy glad you enjoyed it. The flypress really is my favourite tool and being quiet is one of the things I love about it. :)
Also, what is fun and amazing is that Pask is all over the place with his content; you're never quite sure which rabbit hole (or should that be "warren"?) he's going to dive down.Neil has an economy of words that many RUclipsrs are oblivious to and under-appreciate that they would be better served if they chose not to "big-note " themselves, rather that they presented their "take on a subject" as sysinctly as possible.

You could actually make it more compact by getting rid of the top plate at the fixed side. The dovetail will prevent upwards movement anyway. An added bonus is that you can use those extra counter sink after all.
You're right it isn't needed for the dovetail but it does have a purpose. It keeps any scale or debris from getting into the dovetails. :)

What an excellent job. Brilliantly explained as well. Nothing unnecessary. No hanging about.
Great job, Neal! Thanks for showing us how.
The new tooling passed with flying colors! Way to go!
That's a great system. Super convenient but more importantly giving you more time to work the iron while it's still hot.

The time lapse at 15:17 matching the speed of the tap make for some trippy footage.
Just like those videos of prop planes with matching frame rates
I can see the top of the fly press being modified so that it doesn't require a tool to release the die. also can see a method to align the die so that it's just slapping in the die and turning a lever for even faster tool change
Maybe a small wheel at the end of the bolt and a step on the collar
It’s all about the tooling! Great job!
Watching you do two bends at once in the cam lever blew my mind.
