Need to use a hydraulic press

[frequentflier]

used to use a hydraulic press at a place I worked at to flatten metal pieces for a craft project. Believe it was a 20 ton press (though that seems extreme for what I need it for) Anyone have one I can use, buy, or rent by the hour?!

I'm thinking hubby could make you one out of a couple of steel plates and an automotive jack.

Still looking for one...hate to buy a new one. Hubby checked Craigs list and there is (an antique one) in VA.

Thanks...my hubby wants to take a trip there. If I get my press, I am certain he will be getting a new item for his man cave!
