I couldn't edit the place where I had posted photos of my return spring arrangement that were accidentally deleted. Here are, as asked, a couple photos I snapped a few minutes ago. I hope these help. Don

After reading this post and watching the video I went on line and found a 25% off coupon for harbor freight printed it and then made a bee line to the nearest store. Bought the 1 ton for $41.oo and change and brought it home yesterday. Then proceded to look for more youtube videos of use of the arbor press for leather work. Tallbald thanks so much for the post and I hope you continue to use and enjoy your press just like the many of us that thanks to you will be doing the same.

Johnny thank you so much. I do hope others can gain from my experimentation with tools that help folks with limitations as I have. I disassembled my HF press and deburred it, and applied good paint to smooth over some rough spots while it was disassembled. Please let me know if I can help. DOn.

@Tallbald I do apologize about bringing up such an old thread. I must say your press is pretty great. I am envious of several of your modifications. One in particular is the return spring. I see you posted several pictures but they all show as unavailable at the moment. Would be so kind as to upload the picture again? It would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!
