How To Make Bending Tools For A Fly Press

- In this video you'll see me make a table and some tooling for my fly press. Focusing on metal brake style tools to bend sheet metal and flat bar, you'll see the research and development stage, after I've drawn up some simple design to work from, to the finished product.
If you're interested in fabrication, sheet metal work, plate work and workshop tools, then this video is for you!

In this video, I talk about Long Johns! If you want to buy the same "reyt good" ones I have, that are if anything too warm, then grab them here: tiny.cc/03ezhz
My friend did some of the music featured in this episode.

Thanks for watching! Please like & subscribe!
Super proud of you buddy glad to see you blending all your skills together!
Thanks, man! The kind words mean a lot. Glad you like the video, got some more coming out soon. Miss you, man. Should get together at some point ✌
I came here when I read your comment on the video of Pask Makes where he makes his Fly Press stand.
You did a great job making the bending tools. Metal working is not really my piece of cake but this was really interesting.
Your video (shooting and editing) skills are awesome. Your channel doesn't exist very long yet. I guess your experience with making and editing videos you gained
already before. You deserve many more subscribers and views . Stay safe.
Wow, thanks so much for your kind words! I'm really grateful you saying that and you taking the time to check out my channel. Comments like this make it all worth while! Much appreciated 😁✌
Don't forget to subscribe, my dude! 😁😁✌
Such a wide range of shots!
Really glad you're liking the videos! And cheers, I do try to get a wide range 😁 it's all single camera
This is dope man! super informative. great vid 😃
Thanks, man! Glad you liked it :)
Really interesting video, loved seeing it all come together and in action at the end! Keep them coming!
Really glad you liked it :)
Not trying to be a troll but as far as i understand the shaft collar needs to be solid bar, not a pipe. so that all the pressure exerted on the shaft doesnt warp the shaft. another reason why people tend to put shaft collars in the shaft too. hope this helps you something for future builds. good work though.
Yeah, I've had a issue with that, not from pressure exerted from the fly press though, because as I explained I'm only using it for light applications (which is how I get away with it being on casters), but from the bolt that tightens to the tooling! It's caused an indentation, so when I put the tooling in, it sits off centre slightly because of it.
The pressing pressure isn't an issue right now, as I've since shortened the shaft to have the tooling right up inside it, so that the force isn't driven through it.
Cheers for the comment and tips, my dude! I'll get some round bar for it sometime in the future. I'm using it more and more so it would be a good idea.
I still need to make some proper t-bolt fastenings and clamps for it too!
nice work, will the flypress stand not move a lot when you use it. mine tries to move when i tested it on the floor and it doesnt have wheels. I would be interested in seeing how you got on.
Yeah, ours at work have to be bolted down, but we use them for punching etc, so they have some force going through them. I just use this one for really light applications at the moment, so its fine to be on casters. Plus I'm in such a small workshop (single garage) that I wouldn't be able to use it if I couldn't wheel it away from the wall.
I'd definitely prefer to have it bolted to the floor though! Just having to work with what I've got at the minute. Not had problems so far, but I've been using it more and more, so time will tell.
Thanks for the feedback!

Can’t believe you put castors on a Flypress! Nice looking stand with some decent welding but you can’t use a Flypress on wheels!
I'm not using it for heavy swings, and with my garage being so small I needed to be able to pull it put from the wall, otherwise it would be useless. Gotta work with what you got. I've not encountered any issues so far, but as I said, I only use it for light applications.
@@AndreTKemp I hear that, yes, finding space is a problem but the more firmly it is held in place, the better the control you have. I made up my own lead filled balls which also (incredibly) help with delicate work and of course POWER!
@@ScrewDriverxxx I agree that's what you need for big loads; if you're punching holes or crimping thicker material. I'm only using it for small applications, so it's fine to be on locking casters. I haven't had any trouble so far, but as I said, I'm only using it for light work that doesn't even require weights. If I didn't have it on casters, I couldn't use it at all, so it's a workaround and a means to an end.
Sorry you didn't like this one, dude. Hopefully you'll enjoy one of my other videos more.
Hope you're safe and well ✌
