    Nice

    If you have a lathe, whatever the idiots in charge do, you have the ability to make what you might need.

    Very nice! Being able to purchasing a product is nice. However, there is great satisfaction in building something yourself.

    Thank you for sharing.

    here in Brazil, a press of this type costs around U$1,000.00 to buy... I must have spent about U$90.00 to make it

    Wow. Very impressive. Keep saying someday I will get a lathe but would take a very long time to have your ingenuity and skill.

    What an excellent job - Not just the actually "making", but the thought and planning that goes with it. Availability and cost of materials and a design that can be made with the machinery available all throw up a host of variables.

    I guess it might make sense then to buy a bullet swaging press that can also reload ammunition ?
