    They said it could not be done, but if you know what you are doing
    it works just fine! 

    Let me explain: 

    I took the first deep draw course with Lee and Phil. Their press is
    really very nice, but I did not want to spend all of those $$$. So I
    bought a 40 ton press from Northern Tool. Since then my wife
    (Jennifer) took a deep draw course and came back with a motor driven
    BonnyDoon press. I had the dies made for it and both the BD and my
    auto press work just fine. But there is a lot less work involved in
    the motor driven press and there is a lot less guesswork involved.
    If you are not at home with making tools, go with the BD press. If
    you like challenges, the automotive press will work. Most of what we
    do is deep draw, but the other functions will work on both presses
    as long as you understand what you are doing.
