Another use for a press like this would be making the round fairings for the fuel tank outlets. I made mine with fiber glass but it would be easy to punch them out from soft aluminum. The press is available from Harbor Freight for a pretty reasonable price. The forms could be turned out on a lathe using cherry or maple wood.
