A press is a really neat thing to have

vtsteam - you are correct, the flange acts only to locate the head of the piston and the piston contacts the steel above.  My friend's welding is a bit rough but functional.  He has designed and built a lot of lapidary and silversmith tools over the years.  Not pretty but they certainly do the job.  He's over 94 years now and giving up on the shop work but still finds it interesting to discuss ideas and design.  Quite a talented fellow.

Sid and Eric - thanks for the info - I'll take a look at that.  I suspect I'll find lots of uses for it.

John.

Yup! Those are they!

vtsteam:
Wow, 94! Good on him -- I hope I'm still making things like that when (and if) I ever get there.  :bow: :beer:

Room for me- I'm obviously a young stripling at 85!
