I really need my own headset press. I would love to have my own Park, VAR, or better yet the deluxe Bicycle Research one that combines reamer, facer and headset press all in one for a lovely price just shy of $300! Actually forking out the $$ for any of these is a problem since I always need the cash for something more critical, so I started thinking: why not use my wood lathe and turn some maple hardwood into some custom bushings and use some 1/2" (or better yet 5/8") threaded rod, and some other custom fabricated bits to rig up a smooth acting, powerful headset press of my own? How hard could it be. If I do produce it, I'll post up my creation here.
