2. Black Velvet Press (Direct & Chain Drive)

Designed to be easy to build with flexible size adjustments so you can make it fit your studio space. Increase or decrease the bed size to suit your needs. The greatly reduced frame weight makes it easier to move around. You can mount this press on an existing sturdy bench or build a free standing steel frame bench. If you are not only hansom or pretty, but handy as well, you can use the full size printable templates to hand cut the press frame parts yourself. The only parts you will need a machine shop for are the rollers & tapping threads for the pressure screws.
