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! :)

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

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 :rofl:

I don't think you mentioned how thick the pads are and how firm.

Thanks!

So, do you just put the gun wrapped in the leather and crank it down?

Essentially...yes. Here is a link to another thread on this topic. BOOMSTICKHolsters gave a picture tutorial which is awesome.

Any chance of seeing the inside of your press? Thanks.
