I'm just really struggling for time at the minute. The only spare time I get is on weekends, and that's when I play cricket! Was contemplating taking a drawing and the metal to an engineering shop, but I want to do it myself. Might have to wait until the season's finished unfortunately...

How far did you get in the end before abandoning?

!!! You got stuck making some part or the design doesn't work?
I do a little engineering as a hobby, it can be great fun........... or a real pain when something goes wrong >:(

That's a shame, would love to have seen a home made press.

Is it a hard concept to put together? Presumably it's got to be well built to withstand the force, but how difficult can it be - Only saying as my father in law is an engineering buff, and I'd secretly love to make one ;-)

I've just fallen out with it all, bat making as well, I've abandoned that too. The press never got very far, I got the roller put together and bought a workshop press, but never sorted the drive mechanism. I just don't seem to get any spare time these days and when I do, I've got other priorities I'm afraid.

You never know, I might finish this one off in the distant future.

Have you got any photos or drawings of it?
