I respect a man that has an accent as thick as his beard.

Absolutely love how genuine you are. Both of those other presses are super expensive for most of us too. You’re extremely humble and transparent, I think majority of us gravitate towards you for that reason.

For small cutting dies I found a convenient option is to use solid Aluminium glass table discs. I purchased one, 75mm x 10mm with an M8 threaded hole and just cut off an M8 bolt to insert in the ram head. Works great.

Great information that i’ve been curious about for a while. thank you SO much for helping us newer leather workers out. 👍👍🙏

Honestly for a women this is exactly what I need . Thank you 🙏

Awesome stuff! I got my half ton arbor press at Harbor Freight for around $40us with a coupon. It's not super high quality but it has worked for everything I've needed it to. I used it to stamp leather but didn't realize all the potential. Now I just need to get some dies made. Thanks for making this vid. Can't wait to see more! 👍👍

I have a 10 ton hand pump bearing press that I have been just needing to order the dies for. First got it for mechanical work, then have used it for when I have been steaming and bending wood as a clamping force, now for leather. cost me $300 CDN...usually more than one way to skin a cat:) thanks for showing what you are finding that is cost effective and still gets the job done...love it

Great idea to use the arbor press. I have a few projects requiring multiple cuts, which will work perfectly for my small shop. Also, I just realized I've bought some of your patterns from Etsy. Nice work my friend.

Thanks for this (and hi from a neighbour, I'm living in Latvia, near the border), just found a press for sale in Czech Republic, so will get it ordered next week and reboot my leatherworking.

I use a half ton arbor press and stick a heavy duty steal pipe over the lever to give me more leverage power.

Been using my #0 1.5T arbor for a few months to do sleeves and key chains. I love it!

[shanedodd]

Thank you for the videos this will save me a lot of money

You good sir are turning into my favorite YouTuber!

Love my 3 ton arbor press. On a large die that is inserted in a wood frame you will need a top plate as in the video.

Good timing, just bought one of these yesterday

hey mate, thanks for the tips, I am picking an arbor press now and was balancing between 05 and 1T press, now I know which one to choose. Realized I saw your awesome works on instagram after I saw your logo. Good luck.
