A good heavy press needs appropriate tooling, and the primary 'tool' is a set of press plates.
They're basically heavy steel slabs designed to support whatever piece you're working on, while
you try to squash the bejeebers out of it. I picked up a pair from eBay, 12" square and 1-1/2"
thick, with a series of different shaped notches on each face to allow clearance for parts.
