Ok. I had some good time in the shop this afternoon. When I stopped yesterday there was just a few little things to finish the press. What can we do with this pile of screws and washers?
Drill a hole in one side.
Space them out evenly, drill a pilot hole for the screws and attach the washers.
The screws are just tight enough to hold the washers in place but will roll down with a little pressure.
The idea here is the washers will help keep the laminations from sliding around when they have slick as greased owl snot glue all over them. When the lams are stacked and the pressure hose is in place the washers are up, when the pressure hose is inflated the washers will "roll down" and out of the way ensuring good compression from the hose. also, in the press on one end is a pin to but the lams against when placing and compressing them in the form. I only took one pic and that is a pic of marking the location.
