Default Anyone built a bow press?

I need a bow press but they are a little pricey. Just wondering if anyone has tried to make one or has a link to some plans? I don't have access to welding equipment but otherwise am pretty handy.
thanks

Walks with a gimp makes his own presses. Or you could look at a Bowmaster portable or the Ratchet-loc press.

I have the Bowmender press made by WWAG best portable press I have ever used.

It fits neatly behind the seat of my truck for when I am off hunting or 3d.

Here is my 03 Patriot Dualie in it.

WWAG's press looks like it might be the best option for the new Bowtech Tribute.

Check out this thread:

There is an interesting one that is built onto a table. It looks cheap & simple.

Sorry to inform you, but WWAG does not make his BowMender anymore due to lack of time...

I've had my Tribute in the Bowmenderâ„¢ press and it works great as does the Sure Loc X-Press.

Borealboy, here is a link that has what you need.

HTTP:/www.bowzone.ca/

in menu on left, page down to PROJECTS TO BUILD, look for hydralic bow press (NOT BUILD YOUR OWN BOWPRESS)
