<DIV><FONT size=2>Thanks Terry,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I'd be interested in the presses for sale if you'd like to put
me in touch. This is for ribbing a panel. I'm doing so much gearing up right now
I don't want to take on making something else. Maybe later, I'm hoping the old
school press will work well.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>I think any good hardwood will work well. I think white ash
is a popular wood to use. I have a bunch of go-bars made from red oak that
work very well. Pick a wood that doesn't splinter/crack easily. My oak may not
be the best choice as I had one bar crack and launch across my shop.
Fortunately no one was in the trajectory of the very sharp spear that went
flying!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Mine are about 18 millimeters square - but that just depends
on how much pressure you want to apply with each go-bar. I'd recommend cutting
an experimental go-bar and test numerous dimensions until you find the
pressure you are looking for. You can vary the length a little bit also to
vary pressure.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Are the go-bars for ribbing a panel? Have you considered
going pneumatic? I know a guy who has a couple ugly but very stout pneumatic
rib presses for sale - or make 'em yourself - they're really pretty simply to
construct.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>List, I'm ready to make new go bars for an old sound board
press. They will need to be about 40". Information on materials and
dimensions would be greatly appreciated from those of you with
experience.</FONT></DIV>
