Fantastic as always from the Master!

I'm definitely getting one!!

Squarebound pressing frames .. very cool

@8:59 - I don't mind a little "smut" with my comics every once in a while...

Went to buy one, sold out! Haha...You are getting popular Rick, for good reason...:)

They got sold pretty quick. Lol But since its just a prototype, for the next iteration, what about maybe doing a kit that is just two 3mm sheets but with something like locator pins for the second layer to "lock" in place if you want for the thicker books. That way you are only needing to stock one size and the only extra piece thatd be needed is the pins. Thinking like a hole in each corner (so it works for 3 or 6mm kit) and then something like the small rod thats in the staple kit but shorter obviously thatd just drop in to those spot to stop them from shifting.

Would this work with a 1968 square bound books? Also, what can you do with a square bound book that’s not square? What I mean is the bound glued and stapled side is not a 90 degrees angle 📐 when the book is placed flat on the table. The bound side is at approximately at 75 or 80 degrees when laying flat on the table. Can this be corrected? I hope that was a clear enough explanation. The odd thing is the book does not have a curl, the bound side is only angled.

What temperature and time do you use for early 1970s squarebound? Specifically the Shazam title.

Curious why you haven't switched to the cermaic coated presses. They are no longer expensive and are in the same range as the swing arm you are using

Do you plan on making this product for magazines or older Dell Giants? I just picked up a beautiful collection of Penthouse Comix and some of them need a basic press to make them 9.8s. I will definitely be ordering some of these anyway.

how do i purchase one of the prototypes these are awesome i just ordered 2 of the staple tool like 2 weeks ago they are great

Have you ever done a video on how to remove stickers from a comic? I've got an old 1970s comic with an old 15 cent sticker on it that Id like to remove...

How do you tell what pressure is in the press?

So, your pressing "sandwich" is just one piece of cardstock under the front cover and that's it? No backing board under the back cover?

Another amazing idea. Sad they sold out before I could buy them….

Welp.
