Dear Guy, 

    get Susan Kingsley's book about hydraulic press work. In it you will
    find education for working pressures which you will need to know to
    decide what tonnage you will need. I would always err on the side of
    more pressure than you think you will need like electricity in a
    studio, you will always need more. Susan's book has die making
    contacts in it as well. 

    I purchased ( OK Lee, so it took me a while) a Bonny Doon as well as
    many 'Doon products. The reason I did this is because I needed to
    have Lee as a resource for my many questions and he has always been
    very responsive to my "stupid" questions. Lee Marshal, who owns and
    operates and builds the Bonny Doons has built in brand loyalty from
    me for that reason as well as having been the pioneer
    engineer/builder in this area with Phil Poirer who I also have worked
    with. Between Phil and Lee damn near any questions about press work
    can be answered. If Lee is more expensive up front for his presses
    it is because he has allot of knowledge and experience which I don't
    have time to develope by myself, I needed to get it as a tool and
    make money with it right away. Working with Lee I have been able to
    make money with the press ASAP. Without Lee I would not have been
    able to justify my purchase through accounting so in my mind the
    Bonny Doon is well worth the price and was the only way to go for
    me.
