You get used to finding the sweet spot pretty quickly. Hi Georgina,

The bottle jack press is safer than you might think — as you crank the pressure up by hand, you can listen out for any warning creaks from your block, and feel how much harder it’s getting to push the jack any further. You get used to finding the sweet spot pretty quickly.

I find your site very interesting. I have heard about making a press with jacks, but I must admit I am nervous about the crushing force being misapplied. At the artschool I went to they had a hydraulic press in a cage and after you closed the door, you just pressed a button, it was fantastic.
