Scott,
You could also add a piece of Teflon Stock Tape to the area below the ram. This makes sliding your die under it a pure delight.
You did a superior job on your rebuild. Yep, it's winter.

OK Mr Smallwood
Questions
1. Is it cold and lots of snow in Colorado?
2. Are you bored? Me too
3. Would you take 3 bucks and a Primis CD for your press?

teflon tape
Dave, I thought about tape and I may go to that. I wasn't sure if it would take slaming a die on it without tearing but I guess it is pretty tough stuff. Thanks... Scott

q & a
Dave,
1) It's so cold that the lawyer's here have their hands in their own pockets.
2) I'm not warm enough to be bored (see 1) but I am thinking of spring. I did read that survival thread and wrapped a garden hose around me after hooking it up to the hot water heater. Worked OK until the household teenager took a 20 minute shower, then I about froze to death. (see 1 again)
3) I would take 3 bucks and a Primus CD but only if you sang your favorite Beaver song at the Super Shoot. I may have to show up for that treat.

Lefty
John, It looks like the Hart press can be made to work lefty. You would turn the top piece upside down to place the handle on the other side. Then take the spring out and wind it the opposite direction. And finally either flip the "racK" or swap the pieces on the both ends. Best to check with Hart of course but it's worth the call if your interested.
