    Here is the web site for boony doon's web site.

    One must have is the die forming book Hydraulic Die Forming for
    Jewelers and Metalsmiths 

    ~Susan Kingsley it is listed new on amazon right now but you can get
    it from some of the forums supporters or get a used copy. It is a
    must The boony doon forum is also a must for the archives. As far as
    using an A frame or H frame press. The ones from harbor freight type
    stores. Are meant to be used with the size of jack that they are sold
    with. I have a 20 ton unit that I converted to an air over hydraulic
    jack. That works fine for what it is. you can't put a larger jack in
    and not have problems. 

    You will have to make adapters to hold your tooling to the press now
    matter what kind of set up you make. Only if you are getting tooling
    and a press from the same place with it be a put and run type of
    deal. 

    The other thing is using scrap rubber and bits and pieces,can be a
    bad deal lose of time ect experimenting. And then not being able to
    find that exact thing next time you need it.
