Video Description

In this video I will be starting the set up and restoration of my 100 year old Sweeney and Blocksidge #5 fly press. Interested in buying a fly press? This is where I got mine! https://www.instagram.com/anvilsusa/ They were extremely friendly and very fair with their pricing. I would recommend them to anyone.
