That's an EXCELLENT idea! I find that sometimes my handle is in the wrong position for pressing. I recently purchased a 1 ton arbor press myself. The only modifications I have done it to remove the rotating plate and replace it with a 4"X6"X 3/16" thick steel plate which gave me more room under the ram. But I use regular handle tools such as the stamps with attached handles, splash rivet tools, eyelet setters and such. With the 2-D and 3-D stamps, I don't use a handle at all. I simply lay the stamp where I want it, and press it with the ram without using a handle. For my current tools, I don't have a need for having the ram drilled. I prefer to have it flat.

I love this design, and I think it would work fine. There's a lot of leverage there in my opinion to have plenty holding power. I want the plans!!!! PLEASE! Where do I send the money?????????

Thanks Tree Reaper! Nice work!

I'm wanting to make some coaster sets for my family. I've done some searches here, but can find no definite answers to my questions. So I was hoping someone could help me. I want to tool them, but what thickness should I use? Also, will the tooling leather need a backing leather? Like suede? Or could I buy adhesive backed sheet cork? What type finish should I use to make them more waterproof? Thanks in advance! Bobby

Hi, I have a couple pair of the inexpensive lacing nippers that tandy sold. I ground one set down a little so it will work for 3/32" and left the other set at 1/8" wide. Recently I began offering a set of patterns for sale for do-it-your-selfers to use to make their own quivers. In my tool list I recommended the lacing nippers. Mainly because it's pretty much a must have tool for building my quivers. But one of the folks that bought my patterns couldn't find them. So I tried to locate them and I'm coming up with nothing! Any suggestions?

Thanks txgunrunner!
