Its been 3 weeks of pretty foul weather here, but today was nice enough to make the long road trip to pick up the flypress. The seller was a real nice guy and made it easy to collect by disassembling and moving everything to the front of his paved driveway. He even borrowed an engine hoist so I didn't have to bring one which made it a very painless matter to lift the cast iron stand and press into my van. The press came complete with its original stand and accessories, which seems rare to find nowadays. Hopefully I'll have it cleaned up and looking as nice as Rick's in a couple of months.
I've noted that with the renewed interest there seems to be in Blacksmithing, the larger models are becoming very desirable and used prices have risen dramatically. New presses, which are apparently only made in India and exported are going for thousands of dollars now.
