Fred,,,,
Would you be kind enough to take a few pictures for me. I would love to see how the upper section where the top die goes slides up and down. How thick is the top of the base table. How thick and tall is the I-beam. That's going to turn out to be a very nice press. I need to know stuff!!! lol,,,
