Looks pretty and VERY sturdy, but I’m kinda slow (Ask Greg3G) and have no clue what that is for….LOL

Odie -

Very interesting! I admire the sturdy construction. Nice website by the way. Made on a Mac . . . excellent!

Is there a threaded insert for the press, or does it turn in the wood. Darned sure looks sturdy.

Must be a pleasure to work with such a nice tool.

Thank you Karson for the link (you will have to teach me that trick). Some of you not knowing what this is for, take a look at Karson above. Or you can check my project “Tiled Bowls” posted a couple of hours before this was.

There is a threaded insert that came with the screw assembly that is attached to the under side of the top section. Sorry I didn’t think to show it in a photograph. I also mentioned Woodworkers’ Supply. Below is a link to their site.

And the Link to the clamp.

Sorry Odie for taking all your thunder. I’m not trying to take over. I’ll send a message on how I do this.

Damn you’re good…My manhood just disappeared. That’s the one. I have two more for the future thank goodness. You are going to start a run on them. Well they were $10.00 6 years ago.

I was going to build a veneer press that was going to use 36 of them and “I” beams and Steel and wood. Glad I didn’t do it. I think they were $4.50 then.

Vacuum presses are the way to go now.

Odie -

We BOTH bow to Karson The Grand Master.

Your question pushed my envelope to figure it out on a Mac.

As I said, Always something to learn and someone to teach . . . that is one of the great things about Lumberjoocks!

Have fun!

David

At this point I must add, who would have thought this jig would have received more attention than what it was used for? Thank you all.
