Think I need to go the DIY route cuz $800 is a small press with no pressure gauge and still waaaaaaay outside my freaking budget!

@Fermented_Fruitz Not sure what you have for materials. But steel prices are still through the roof just a FYI. If you have to buy material to build something like @Olderfart design it might get pricey. luckily i know a guy

Well xD ... Cool!

pyramid is based in spain & has been around for a lil over 10y now with a decent rep.....or at least not a bad one ppp

I could also just buy a 12 ton shop press if need be cuz I don’t have the tools here and even if they used scrap doubt I could get somebody to build me 1 for cheaper! I think I remember seeing a 20 ton shop press (wouldn’t need that much) but it was $209 and had pressure gauge built in! Still been looking about to see what I find!

Nice looking unit. I had a look online, and it seems to be a bit of a pain in the butt to get in Canada though, so I am thinking the Utilian 2 would work well enough for me. By any chance, have you tried that one?

Had one similar I used for a moment. It worked. I like the Seahorse because the tip is exposed and I can just dip it in the rosin. It should work though most of it is preference and unfortunately you have a to try a few to see what you like. That one looks good enough if you can get it.

Need to eat something and then we will be dropping the boys off at gmas and taking little miss skating again since dad is off today and she loved it so much. She skated the whole 3 hours last time so I know it'll be worthwhile for her but I can all but guarantee the boys would do it for like 5 minutes and be bored or fall and cry and want to leave or have to leave cause they broke an arm or something. No thanks. They don't have an arcade or play area or anything so I'm not paying an extra $18 just for them to come along and complain the whole time. Not to mention they've been rather bad this week while #3 has been going above and beyond and picking up their slack by doing their chores without anyone asking her to when they've been neglecting them, so yeah. Add to that several nights of sneaking stuff out of our room (tv remote for their room, as well as downstairs, #2s chromebook that was issued by the school so I can't put parental control locks on it and shut down overnight access, etc) and staying up all night and yeah no not going to reward them for all that.

I feel ya when they first issued those chromebooks here the wife would change the wifi password or the two oldest would be up till 3 am surfing the internet. Then the sneaky turds got a lan cable and would sneak into the living room and just plug into the modem. At least they are all out of the house and not driving me crazy.

@Fermented_Fruitz yup agreed looking into same stuff. I am weighing the time it is going to take to acquire materials and build versus cost of a shop press and heat plates. Keep us posted on your findings as will I.
