<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I toyed with the idea of a screw press but
since there are different length ribs, where to locate the screws, just how
many screws to put in each one, how to make them mobile etc., how do distribute
the pressure evenly and thoroughly all convinced me that pneumatic was
better. My set consists of 6 presses of varying lengths: 1@5’, 2@3’,
3@4’. In retrospect, I should have built another 5 footer.
Also, I may end up switching the angle aluminum to perforated angle struts
which would have been cheaper and easier with more options for placement of the
pins for holding down the upper beam. </span></font></p>

As long as you can verify that your getting about 45 psi on each and every
sq.inch of you glue joint use whatever method you choose However
my fist thin slice of this idea is not me!. & why would you wish to do this
anyway? Fire hose set ups aren't rocket science nor all that expnesive &
the confidence factor is 100%.<br>

Beautiful. It's nice to see your project finally achieve escape
velocity......so to speak. Well done.<br>

Just as a question... one could do basically the same thing with vertical
laminated ply 2 X 4's yes ? And another thing I've been wondering about...
these pneumatic <<bars>> a lot of you guys are using over there....
Wouldnt it be possible to just use an appropriately thick and firm cushion
along with cinch down screws on the sides to do the same job ? I realize it
would not be quite as quick... but it would work fine yes ? Or what. <br>
<br>
