Uncle Al's Hydraulic Press

[grant]

I have an Uncle Al's press. It's in good shape, though the dies could do with replacing. I got it second hand about 2 years ago from a guy making a lot of laminates. It's seen almost no use since I got it.

Now I'm moving to a city and packing up shop and have to sell this behemoth.

I will attach actual pictures of the press in my shop shortly.

I paid right about $1100. I'd like to get near that. Make an offer and you might be surprised.

You can pick it up or arrange shipping from my home/shop in Helena, MT.

Hello from Missouri.
I guess the big question is: do you still have the press?
The second question I have regards the movement of the press. Does it work with an upward movement of the bottom die or a downward movement of the top die (does that make sense?).
I'm looking for a good press, and at the same time suffer from that common ailment of knifemakers, big aspirations and a small purse. Depending on if you still have it and if we can get together on price, I'd certainly be interested.
Thanks.

I too would be interested in this press but I first need to sell one of my LG 50#triphammers .

I still have the press. The top die moves down onto the bottom die.

I'm sure we can work out a price. Send me a pm or email me at: gaustin (at) gmail (dot) com.

I'm a month out on my move and don't want to have to cut the thing up to take it to the dump.

Pictures are coming. Just have to get them off my wife's camera.

Just linking to the photos of the press as they are huge. Will resize and repost if someone has low bandwidth and really wants to see them.
