Recently made this flower press for a girl I've been seeing. she absolutely loved it and I'm really keen to start a few a few more projects we can do together. I own a machineshop so I'm not really limited in what I can make but I love using hand tools. Will make a drawing up of the flower press if anyone is keen on making one themselves.

I made all the square and octagon nuts by hand from scrap 5160 steel slugs I had lying around, heated them until they reached about 620 degrees and quenched them in very dirty engine oil. For the underside I tightened the threaded bar up with the nuts protruding out, marked them and used a chisel to make a slot so they sit flat.

You are one hardcore motherfucker. Where do you get taps for that thread?

Also what did you draw that up in?

Not OP, but the hours in fabricating such a press aren't cheap. People often don't understand that stock parts you buy from a hardware store would often cost mad cash if they were machined as one-offs.

Brit taps are commonly available on the internet. Google the size bu always check Ebay too. (Britbaikufag here.)
