Diy Shop Press Dies. **please read** in order to reduce costs and by customer demand, we have split the plans for the shop press and the hydraulic power unit into two separate plans. The watch press is also mountable for added stability.
I dont know much about a louver press but would it be possible to make a few dies and rig something up on a standard shop press? I saved these for a possible article and then when we had the aacb meeting in april at bristol forge at rock mount, kit wattenbarger and i had a chance to stop by matt's shop and see his press in action. My press will accomodate a 15″ by 31.5″ opening.
