I just got back from MetalsSupermarket near me with some 1" aluminum 4x6 plates and some steel bar. Cartridge heaters are on the way to heat the platens, and temperature controls, and 5/8-18 threaded rod, so I'm committed to the DIY route. I have a few hydraulic jacks of different sizes up to 20T. Thanks to @Mañ'O'Green for leading the way.If I had bad hands, that's about the cheapest push a button presses around. I would like a pressure gage.
