lets see your kydex press

[Brix]

Hi all kydex makers

I'm interested in seeing the kydex press you use to mold the kydex. I'm working on a idea of a hydrolic press, Hope I can show pics in the begining of next week. Right know I use 2 pieces of plywood where I have glued some foam on and press it with a clamp.

Do any of you do it in a diffrent way?

A lot of people here dont use a press. They use only two boards and to press the kydex they stand or sitt on them. Presure is not the best but ok and it is a fast and easy method.

Some other use a press with clamps or without. I am using speed-clamps or the first method.

My "press" is very simple. 2 boards with 4 layers of foam glued to each of them. I also stand on it, but i guess 75 kg sometimes is not enough.
Works better when my cousin (120 kg) is standing on it...

Another one and still too slow and uncomfortable.
I am looking for a kind of old bookpress or gonna build something around an old jack.
