Chris,
Will you post how this works out? It looks like you could mount the top die into the drill press chuck. I am not sure what to do with the bottom. I suppose you could drill a hole into a wood base & glue it in there. Or maybe weld it to a metal base to allow you to easily move it under the kydex rivet hole.
Ok Chris, Sorry I thought you meant that you were going to attempt to adapt a drill press into an arbor press.
I love the griddle idea. I bet that works great!

Oh My Hell!!!!!! I have had the wood cut the foam bought and have been going to make one of these for months now but have been kinda stuck on how to put it all togethor. You made it so simple and that jsut cleared up all my questions. I was not real sure about the hinge part but that is a simple awesome way. Thanks now I can finish mine!
