Thank you for this video! I have been uncertain of the usage of the HF press for jewelry stamping, but your video helped me see that this is a great option.

Thank you so much for this video! I tried different ways of doing it and gave up. Now that I stumbled onto this video I'll be back at it and much happier.

Hello so happy I found this video! The Harbor Freight Oress I just looked at did not have steel plates but the odd shaped arbor plates…where can I get the plates and can this be used for Texture Plates as well? Than you in advance

Would it be possible to stamp into thicker (like 16 gauge) low carbon steel?

Excellent video Cheryl as always, where does on buy the urethane and the additional steel blocks from to use with the press?

I get the urethane from potter USA and I got my steel plates on eBay for the square and Lowe’s for the long rectangular ones

thank you so much as i do own this particular press and have a question. Some of my impression dies are larger than the press (circumference wise). How do I go about getting a full impression when the size of the press is only so big?...I find it difficult manipulating the die in order to get a complete impression...TIA!!!

I’m interested in this press. I’m a hobbyist. I’m just wondering how heavy it is (my craft room is on our 2nd floor). Also the height. I know it’s on large side, but colossal? Thanks. Great video too.

The press is pretty heavy, definitely recommend a two person team to move and assemble it, but once assembled I found it pretty easy to move around my shop by myself.

Can anyone recommend a tool for cutting urethane pads? I bought a pack of 6"x6" pads in various durometers and thicknesses and was not anticipating how difficult they are to cut into smaller sizes. What are y'all using?
