Hi everyone,
just thought I would share this with you. I see a lot of people use their drill press as a pen press as well as the wood vice but I had my fathers old B&D drill press attachment just laying there so me being a gardener I always like making something for nothing lol,. I took the press put a bracket on it and used a couple of aluminium pieces with small drill hole bottom. and a larger one for the top, finished off with a couple of rubber inertube patches...this is it....it works. So wait next year for car boot sales lol.
:winking:

Cheers
Phil

If anyone wants the aluminium press plugs..I have a couple spare. You put in your location holes. Willing to send uk only. FOC. Sorry to our overseas members. Wouldn't mind a blank in return, but not necessary.

I just turned a piece of hardwood to fit, I would post a photo, but it would be too complicated.

Great Idea. I have one of those stands somewhere amongst my collection and will have to adapt it to make a pen press.
