  • Watched this video about a year ago. Searched it again and watched. I am going to base my design off yours. I need to make a press for inlays. I need one about 24 x 18 and plan on 2 screws. I will use it mostly to press the male inlay into the female while gluing. The large size is for end grain cutting boards with end grain inlays. You do beautiful work!

  • Hi, I am a "Newbie" to your video stream, but just had to comment. You have a beautiful press, that will stand the test of time, but is going to age far more gracefully than any metal could and do the work you need of it. It was lovelyvto see good woods & traditional woodwork skills like the dovetails used. WONDERFUL Thank you 😊

  • I use mine for segment turning. stack up layers of ring segments. I've also used it like an arbor press for pushing plns out of chain linkage, shafts off of pulleys. posts were mortise and tenon. cross piece into mortise hole with two inches of wood above hole for strength. With flair tenon.bottom also has flair tenon in mortise. that's where you cut tenon and use wedges to flair in hole. Lots of glue into joint. this video is great , the completed piece can be left on bookshelf. looks like fine furniture. Mine looks like it's been used for decades. about 8 years only. I only say this about mine it's so you don't limit a piece of machinery,to just this one .open up and spread you wings into areas that you might find fun. no limits if you fail so what make some sawdust.

  • This is really, really well timed. I was thinking about making a book press because my sister in law had the gold leaf page edge on one of her leatherbound books damaged during a roof leak. I told her I wanted to attempt to repair it once it dried out so I'm going to see if pressing it and then reapplying the gold leaf does the trick. Any tips for pulling out page wrinkling besides leaving it in the press?

  • Just found this. Thanks for the great video. As a woodworker and a bookbinder this is just what I needed to see. I'll be making mine soon. One question I have is do you think this design will work for a large press A2 size? I need something that will have a platter size of about 24 inches wide. My thought is to make four posts instead of two. Yes it will be heavy that is for sure. thanks.

    @min-magicarts@min-magicarts9 ай бұрын
  • Lovely work but I think I see a serious design flaw. If you press down really hard, you are going to tear the nut part off the top of your press. It should have been on the other side of the wood, with the metal bit inside the hole!

    @evanherk@evanherk3 жыл бұрын
    • If you embed the nut from below as @evanherk suggests, you could add two inches to the height of your uprights and also gain deeper working space, giving you both a structural and a functional win.

  • Nice job! Looks really beautiful. I'd like to add something for any reader who didn't quite get your source for the rubber pads. Tractor Supply or other farm hardware shops sell matting for livestock stalls. In this day and age most barns have concrete floors and they are hard of hooves. So... they sell rubber mats to soften the floors. The stuff is REALLY tuff and great for any project where durability and hard rubber is wanted. IF hardness and durability are not what your looking for you can buy foam rubber tiles in the big box hardware stores. They are generally in tile form and much softer than the stall surfacing matting.
