Members McJeep Posted July 9, 2009 Members Report Posted July 9, 2009 Kewl setup - I think I'll steal that idea for making presses for ipods, buck knives, etc Only thing I think I'd do different is to use "T" nuts on the underside of the base to allow using regular bolts for clamping down Thanks for the idear!

Members carljc72 Posted July 9, 2009 Author Members Report Posted July 9, 2009 I should really give Monica the credit. I got the idea from a post where she said she was the weight to form the holster. Before then I thought you needed a hydraulic press. Instead of standing on a board, I thought why not screw it down/bolt it down if the weight/pressure is not critical. Soooo...even though I am sharing my invention, it was an idea brought forth from another Leatherworker member. Thanks, Carl Quote Carl Collins
Members ps0303 Posted July 9, 2009 Members Report Posted July 9, 2009 I don't think you mentioned how thick the pads are and how firm. Thanks! Quote

Thanks, Carl One of these days I'll upgrade my press, but it'll be a new setup. I'm not interested in upgrading by putting this press into a higher weight class Quote

Here is a link to another thread on this topic. BOOMSTICKHolsters gave a picture tutorial which is awesome. http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=346 Quote Carl Collins
