Hi there,

traveling to conventions does not necessarily mean that you get power in the manufacturing area right away (or need to bring a loooooong extension cord), you don't always have a truck to haul everything around and you kinda want to be set up early and be able to depart early as well while still be able to whip up a few 1lb rockets.

I kinda gave the usual 1ton harbor freight press a thought but with 1lb rockets, that will definately be pushing it. BP might work, hybrid or whistle... well, salute on a stick comes to my mind.

 

So, what kind of economic press do you think might be modified easily for traveling? I thought about something like that http://www.busybeeto...RESS-2-TON.html since it is still semi-portable (the 3ton run up to 120lb) and one could concievably extend the base with a metal plate and some threaded rod. On the other hand, a small hydraulic press would be nice as well (and probably lighter) but I have not yet found something that will fit the bill without building a completely new frame.

 

So, any suggestions what to do or examples what you are using for travel?
