I posted this on another forum, but it really didn't get any traction. @Kev 's recent thread re-sparked my interest and @Gliden07 's build thread prompted me to bring the conversation here, where guys seem way more interested in the technical aspects of tacking a project like this and the...

I'm considering a press. I'm considering whether or not I want to mess around with fabricating my own. But that's not the topic of this thread. In my excursion down the rabbit hole that is forging presses, I came across this and was impressed at the ingenuity and efficiency of design: Has...
