I just had the good fortune to pick up a #2 Hopkins fly press. I need to make a top tool/die holder for it. I was thinking that having dies with a 1" shank makes the most sense.
I'd rather make it once and be done, so in that spirit I'm trying to do some research before I start. I've found very little on the web.
I have lathe, mill, and welder so I can pretty much make anything. If anyone out there has this press, I would greatly appreciate seeing a photo or sketch of what they did or have.
