    With respect to your enthusiasm, I'd suggest a visit to
    www.bonnydoonengineering.com. 

    They make a sturdy, reliable press and the dies for deep drawing.
    They also have the Poirier books.  At one time, I tried to make a
    Harbor Freight press work for minimal shaping.  I destroyed it in
    less than an hour. To do deep drawing requires many steps, multiple
    dies, and precise machining of the dies. You have to hold the metal
    in the die in a particular and precise way. To do the deep draw that
    you would need for chalice bowls would work just fine in the new tall
    20 Ton press with the 6 inch deep draw dies. If you could, take a
    class from Phil Poirier on the subject.  He's a fabulous teacher and
    splendidly knowledgable. Phil can be reached at
    www.poirierstudio.com.

    And your website, prosphora.org is fascinating, especially for bread
    bakers.
