Who's interested in using them if they had one? who uses one? I am looking at making one and would have plenty of wood left over and may consider selling the extra ones. Let me know what you guys think.

For ~$5, you can order detailed plans for a wall mounted, lever-arm press. I've built one that easily applies 100+ pounds of weight. (For psi, divide the weight applied by the surface area of what you're pressing.)

I would be a potential customer. I know there a a lot of people who look at Bob's plan and say, that looks easy, but I'm not one of them.
i'd be interested in a press like the one that guy was showing us when he was peddling that really amazing (and expensive) cutter. his stuff was the best i've ever seen and i would pay for it, just not what he was asking hehe.
it would do a solid brick of tobacco like 4 lbs worth.
yeah i still remember his stuff, the youtube video mesmerized me lol, such a perfect system. my truck cost less though lol.

Dear Lord...that press is nice. I'm working around in the $50 shipped range. between time and products. It'd be wood, not metal. nothing spectacular, simple but worth your money. Reenforced on the corners and on the clamping areas with 5/8" steel. All seems glued with 90+ pound water proof carpenters glue. Possibly weep holes as well in the body. Clamps included.
i made 2 of them last year,,,,, allthough pressing baccy i.m.o. is good if you got a whole lot of it,
i did like your thinking of doing,
i just used 2 c- clamps to hold pressure on my home-made press,

If you press it to tite ya ca'nt cut it. and when you do cut it you can't smoke it.
I'll try "almost" anything at least once!
