    upgrading press

    so i have been using this press for a year now and have found a few things that i would like to change to make it a little better.



    first i wanted to make it a little more compact.. so i did away with the metal
    "X" arms

    next i want to make it easier to store, for now....later ill be building a bench that it will attach and detach from..

    so heres where im at with it today...took the X off and replaced with 1/8" steel cable and chain. built a hook on the jack to attach chain to.


    next ill be building the legs today...i want them to fold up and out of the way without having to use a wrench.

              works good except for the little part the the chain attached to...it bent a little. it is made of 1/4' key stock...gonna redo the chain and cable design soon

                Can you totally take down a bow in this press if you need to? Looks good!
