Thanks to a member here that took the time to send me part dimensions and pics, I was able to make a rough copy of a nice little press. I still have some parts to make and add some finishing touches. There are a few mistakes, but it should work fine.

Looks nice! I have been thinking of make one myself.

That's pretty neat. I take it uses standard dies. Would come in handy on a long hunting/camping trip or for working up a load at the range. Nice job!

I found out the price is $129 retail on the Hunnington site!:-(

Yes, the Huntington is not cheap but I like mine - you did an excellent job on yours so far.

Thanks, there are a few mistakes, nothing critical. I may make another one since I have the dimensions and procedures worked out it wont take as long.

.............Looks like a very nice job to me. I'll bet it wasn't easy getting those handle profiles to come out like they did. From what I can see they match each other very nicely. Straight lines, corners, and edges are simple to do compared to round features, and those handles look as if they are blended radiuses? Pretty neat stuff.
