Never has a product motivated me more to diy my own version! When I opened the package the first thing I noticed was that black plastic bits came flying out onto the floor. What was it? I wondered. Oh! It's the top for raising and lowering the press. Instead of round plastic to allow for ease of movement, I get to contend with jagged edges, yay! The blood sacrifice I'll make with every turn will make me appreciate every press even more!Naively, I persist and continue to follow the instructions to salvage what I can. But wait what's this? One of the bolts won't thread all the way through? Oh well, not like I wanted even pressure or anything. It'll just give my books more of a handmade feel to it!Then I began to put everything together, but alas, the holes drilled into the wood don't seem to have been measured properly and the wood top becomes stuck unevenly on the bolts and it is unable to budge at all. Now, my spirit has been crushed, so I guess the press did work one time. I am headed to the hardware store to start from scratch. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, your level of craftsmanship had given me the confidence to make my own.PsI should have gone through all the pictures and information on this product, if I had, I would have noticed all the typos, typography issues, and incorrect terminology. So my bad, I forgot this place has no QA. It came in a nice box tho
