Good idea!! Here's one of the press folded up vertically. Thinking about welding a hinge to the bottom shown here so I could fold it up and against the wall to make room on my work bench when I don't need the press.
Russ, have you tried this stuff? It might work very well for the fingers. I use it on all kinds of things, from my treestand strap hooks to my arrow rest prongs. It is pretty durable and easily repaired if ever needed.
That is a really cool design, especially the fold up feature.
However, instead of all the steel framing, I wonder if a way could be figured out to mount the fingers on a pipe clamp? I think that they have enough travel to accomplish the pressing, but a lot cheaper.

I'd bet you probably could modify a pipe clamp to work as a press. It doesn't take much force to press these bows at the limb tips at all!
