Well,now I can press those parallel things.:D


I have been threatening to do this for a while,just never had a round tuit.[:o]


Finally got my but in gear and got er did.

I took pictures during the process.

RE: modified my press,finally
 

I quess I will have to go buy one now.:eek:

Nicely done TFOX. I wish I had those skills. My neighbor is a welder and I have an older style press here at home.

It would probably cost less than going out and buying the Apple version or an Xpress now wouldn't it?

Speaking of buying a new parallel limb bow........;)

:)

RE: modified my press,finally
 

Cost is MUCH less,about $450.00 less.[:o]


It has been pointed out to me that I MIGHT have some problems pressing some parallel bows due to the extreme angle of the posts.They might hit the limb pockets,if that is a problem,I might have to cut the post off andthen reatach at a little less angle.That really isn't that big of a deal.If you decide to do it,that might be something to look at.

RE: modified my press,finally
 

Thank you for the suggestions. I will keep that in mind.

RE: modified my press,finally
 

im not really sure what you do to modify it lol

RE: modified my press,finally
 

Look at the jack,that wasn't there before.It was a standard press before.


Look at all the pictures,I know the quality isn't that good.:eek:

I quess it looks factory.I quess that it is good.;)

RE: modified my press,finally
 

Press looks real cool TFOX, good job. Next time I come up we can try it on mine:D:D

RE: modified my press,finally
 

Yours presses just fine without the jack but get that release ordered before we worry about that.;)

RE: modified my press,finally
 

oops... i never realized the jack wasnt there before lol:)

RE: modified my press,finally
 

Good work T man;)

I got me a nock off of the Sureloc press:):D

RE: modified my press,finally
 

I was going to get one of Walks With A Gimppresses but he doesn't think he was going to make anymore so I went ahead and spent the $10.00 on the jack and the steel my stepdad had so I have $10.00 in the modification.


I would like to have an x press but I don't press enough bows to justify it.

RE: modified my press,finally
 

I was wondering about the angle on the post too. Have you tryed this out on a true parallel limb bow yet. and if so do you have photos of it. Please keep us up to date with this and let us know if you have to tweek it at all.

RE: modified my press,finally
 

I pressed a Trykon on it before I modified it but couldn't get the tension off the string.It would have hit the post if I would have kept pressing but I should have been pressed enough to use the jack and get the tension off.

RE: modified my press,finally
 

Well, time to make this one of mine



look like yours too. Thanks for the inspiration.
