I found this video here on TH-cam while doing a search on the topic “bookbinding”. I check out the website, and quickly ordered this lying press. I just received my press in the mail this afternoon, and I started working with it this evening. BOY it makes tasks so much easier with the addition of the stand. There is a lot of coverage underneath for large books. It is easy to assemble and disassemble for storage and portable transportation. But the most impressive feature is the craftsmanship. It’s made of three beautifully finished hardwoods, and the threads on the press move very smoothly. Jim includes the two clamps, so you can get started ASAP. This piece of equipment looks like it will last many many lifetimes-an item worth passing down from one generation to another. The press is even stamped with his name, company name, and location of business. I will be buying more equipment form him in the future. In addition, the seller is personable, reliable, and accessible. It was a pleasure to invest in one of his products.
Love the addition of the stand. I hate having to hold down clamps while positioning the book block. I need four hands in order to do the job right. This looks like it would make process much more manageable.
