HA Quick Home Made Wood Arbor Press

[sams wood creations]

I was making some articulated Dog Lamps using 5/8 wood dowels in a very tight hole. So I had to put together a
arbor press real quick like and this is what I came up with in a hour..lolol
Have a look.

It works, "arbor press" doesn't require rack and pinion, and commercially they're available in many ranges of pressure. It's all about multiplying leverage, so a linkage qualifies.
There's a joke somewhere that top end of arbor press rams mushroom when some joker eeks out a bit more by wailing away injudiciously with a steel hammer. He's same guy who's never fixed that or paid for a new one.
