My press from Tim (u.p. north) arrived late yesterday; my daughter-in-law had to get the UPS driver to hump the iron monster into the garage for her! I didn't feel like uncrating it yesterday - been having a low-sugar reaction all afternoon without even realizing it. I should get it unboxed today, and I'll take pix and post them.
I'm excited by this, because I want to get set up to swage bullets that are uncommon, and difficult to find in stock, especially locally. I'm talking about .257" and .313" rifle bullets, and maybe .45 paper patch bullets.
ETA: No, I didn't have Tim ship it clear to Korea! I'm visiting my oldest son in Maryland.

ETA: I spoke to Tim last night, and assured him that I am completely satisfied with my purchase. The only issue that I would address with the press is that some of the welds look rather unsightly. I'm confident that they will prove more than adequate, and Tim did bring this up first. Tim said that he's going to build a jig to hold everything in place for welding, so that should resolve that issue!
Unfortunately I won't be able to actually assemble, mount and use my press for a while yet. I know it will be there when the time comes!
