Is a press needed for Homemade MyKarta?

[RHankins]

Have the opportunity to buy a hydraulic press cheap and wonder...Do I really need this to make Homemade MyKarta?
Really don't want to fool with clamps and makeshift presses.

It is not needed. It might be nice, but not necessary. I just use two 2x6s and a vice for a clamp and have had good results.
