Actually the press is a lot faster than what I figured. Those bolts are large and go on and come off real quick. Also backing off the the rachet strap couldn't be easier. And it really is amazing how little pressure is needed to press the bow. This is a great design, especially for the parallel limbed bows.

A good place to press your bow with mine,, is on a big bath towel placed on the kitchen counter top, if you don't have a dedicated work bench. Getting the bow and press at a comfortable height makes working on your bow easy
I still need to get one of those fancy axle E-clip removal tools!!!!

You mean a flathead screwdriver?

I also take your press with me on all 'far away' hunting trips.
Any other inventions recently--not the 'woody' that's OK--that issue has already been taken care of.

KBacon,, I usually use my super technical,, butter knife
Ampa,, funy you should mention inventions Actually I do have a design in the works for a pro shop press and a bit of a different twist on my Plainsman™ drop away arrow rest
If the weather ever warms up and I get cought up on presses,, I'll be in the shop with closed and locked doors

Russ, when you're done and ready to roll--please spread the joy.
Would love to see what's new on your Plainsman.
