Travel Press

This small finishing press breaks down into just six pieces making it ideal for packing away for a workshop or other trip.
Even though I call it a travel press it's hard maple boards and 3/8" screws give it much of the functionality of a full size press. It would make a good choice for a second, auxiliary press or even as your only press if you mainly work on smaller books.
Requires a 9/16" wrench to operate. A ratchet and socket is the most convenient, but a box or open end wrench will do. Use your own or order the stubby ratchet below.
