<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just had to retool for my RC&S project (my
2nd pneumatic press in as many years, ouch). I did go with the perforated strut
which I love, but the aluminum cross bars seem like they might be nice and
light. I also added a torsion spring so the top bar could just hang out during
set-up and disassembly.</FONT></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">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.
