I'm just getting into leather working as a hobbiest and I cannsee the benefits of using a clicker press. I just cannot afford one and dont have the room for one. Just a thought, I have a 1 ton Arbor press and was wondering if I could have a steel plate welded to the base of the rod, with another steel plate for it to press against and use this as a manually operated press for using with dies? Surely it would at least mark the leather enough to make the cuts more precise?
