Attach it to a heavy workbench and turn it into a barrel holding fixture for removing barrels from actions. It's large enough to put plenty of clamping pressure around a barrel. Just because you...

Only reason I don't use a magnet is it magnetizes the part and all the steel filings which makes a mess.

From my experience, whenever I can't find a tiny spring or ball bearing and I'm tempted to order one before I do that I will take a foxtail and dustpan and start moving things around and organizing....

You don't need to wait for it to cool before carding although its easier to handle when cool. It is recommended if you are recoating to do it warm. You can leave it overnight after carding if you...

About 1 and a half inches wide each.

Looks very nice! I'd be happy with a press that looks like that. Thank you for sharing!

That indexing fixture looks expensive!
