Im currently building my own press to my specs. hate using part made bats, nothing against them but I enjoy that bit as much as fashioning the cleft. Also experimenting with a few ways of working. Only just signed up today so in the next couple of weeks I'll upload what I've made.

Welcome on board. You've just made Buzzes day (and probably Norbs!)...

Hi buddy I believe we have been in touch before

When can I come and see your press?

I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal.

Thanks guys. Well I gave up trying to get into companies after sending of hundreds of letters and loads of phone calls. I wrote to Matt at H4L but you never replied! I was upset lol. :)

Erm press wise I haven't decided on the final design yet but either a counter balance (if it fits into the space) or a standard screw down but on a lever.  Shame the lack of funds and university overdraft is hindering me. Thank you government!

I'm just waiting for a cleft off of wilkie (which I think may have been one of peplow's) to arrive, and then I'm going to give it a go when I have my week off coming up
