Are you tired of pressing kydex standing in the doorway??? Just obtained secret industry photos of "The Tillman Press"

How it works:
Joe sheathmaker = 200lbs
Sqaushimus forcimus (Sf) = force x distance from axis of rotation.
Sf at point A = Sf at point B

Sf at B = (200lbs)(12')
Sf at B = 2400 ft lbs

Sf at A = (2400ft lbs)/2'
Sf at A = 1200 lbs

This provides adequate Squishimus forcimus for molding purposes.

No need to thank me
