Alex,
If you plan on making a lot of kydex sheaths, a commercial press would probably be a good investment. If, however, you just make one occasionally, you can make one pretty easily. Get one or two foam garden kneeling pads from your local garden center depending on how large a press you want, put them between two pieces of 1 x 8 board, screw two cabinet hinges on the short end. Mold the kydex around your piece, put it between the foam pieces, clamp it securely and go get a cold drink. Easy, cheap, and can be used to wet mold leather sheaths as well. __________________ Everything you do says something about who and what you are so ALWAYS sign your work with excellence.
