It can be closed back up and ready for shipment. I paid $370 to have it shipped 1,300 miles and I'm sure it would cost the same to do the same if you would like to have it shipped to you. I can provide shippers info. $2400 Impyman18@gmail.com 210-900-3464 Thanks!

I took my press by the machine shop last friday and got it back on Monday. I got the idea from another member and I'm happy I took the plunge to get it machined. I had the shank drilled to allow punches, setters, and makers marks. He turned down my larger punch and made bushings for a setter and the smaller punch, sized them all up, and gave me a steel plate. It set me back $80 but think it was well worth it. Only bad thing was he forgot to add an attachment rod to the stamp. I'll have to swing by after the gun show this weekend to have it added. Other than that small detail I'm super stoked with the way it all turned out.

As promised... Raw 8/9oz Veg Sanded with 220 Paraffin wax applied to edges and burnished Another angle Saddle soap applied to edges and reburnished Another angle Hope this helps!

I've been lurking the forums for months and just signed up recently to see pics. I figured my 1st post might as well be useful. I was at Harbor Freight today just looking at what goodies I never knew I needed and ran across a 6 pack of 2in polishing pads and shank. I debated over buying them as I just ordered one of 3 Mutt's wooden burnishers. I figured what the heck and I'd give this a shot till I got the new one. I knew I wouldn't be able to use the shank as I wanted to stack 3 pads. I dug out about a 4 in bolt with married nuts. I had 2 - 2in washers and 2 - 1 in washers I added to each side of the pad stack. I tightened it all together and fitted it in the drill press. Set it to 1350 RPMs, grabbed some wax, and saddle soap. Flipped the press on and set a groove with a screwdriver. I tested it on a raw, fresh cut, piece of veg tanned 8/9oz leather. No sanding or beveling had been done to the piece prior to burnishing. Not bad for no prep work! I then sanded a piece with 220 grit paper and retested. (No pics, Sorry!) Man, this things works like a dream! I'll be sure to add pics of a preped and worked piece to show how well she works. Total Cost: $12 +/- a few cents (Kit was $9.99 but used a 20% coupon) Side note: I'm sure the shank that came with the kit could be used if you only used 2 pads but I didn't test it. Hope y'all enjoy! -Rick
