    For seeming to sort of bungle their way through that process using less than state-of-the-art equipment, they did an amazing job in the end! I really dig that sliding press head, too.

    For topical application, only. Not to be taken internally or used in com-

    Do not operate heavy equipment, unless you actually know how to.

    The movable press head is pretty awesome. I've never seen anything like that. Is that a common thing?

    I'm looking at my teeny HF press and wondering if I can jig up something like that now. It's infuriating to get everything set up and realize you're 1/2" off on the ram.
