Any chance we can get a rivet tool or a barrel press jig to rent as well?
BTW anyone in Northern VA looking to do this, and that doesn't have a press, you can buy my press off of me when I'm done. No room in my casa for such a big item....

You don't need the 20-ton press as I have used a 12-ton for quite some time with no real problems but the extra working room that you gain with the 20-ton is nice. The 20-ton is on sale and they have a 20% off coupon that expires 9/15/2005 (tomorrow). Even though I havethe 12-ton I just went out and bought a 20-ton last night. I do not think the 12-ton is on sale but 20% is still pretty good even if you go with the smaller unit.
Now, if space is an issue, the 12-ton is nice as it is portable (Ie lighter). I can carry mine around by myself and it takes up very little room in a garrage or basement. I have found myself using my press for all kinds of stuff now that I have it... bending - flattening, squashing things, holding things while I drill or cut them, etc... A press is a handy tool or so I have found.
