Years ago a friend starting out had a planishing press, my thought being why would you need such a thing when you have a mallet and a steel block.
I’ve now become really feeble not helped at all by Cookson sending out long lengths of 4mm wire coiled. When it's square wire it’s really time consuming to straighten and flatten but I digress .
I don’t have room for a hydraulic press but I might have room for a planishing press. The only one anywhere on Google is the Durston at £400 on offer today at Cookson for quite a bit less.
Any thoughts or do I just still need a big hammer and a lie down?
