    I bought a kit ages ago along with a Harbor Freight press.
    It sat for many many years before I finally assembled everything.
    It came out great.
    I plan to make a YT video of mine, describing where I made mistakes.

    Thank you for this post.
    I appreciate you taking the time to make this available.

    Here is mine.
    I appreciated the step by step directions.

    Mine was a bit long in production because my Craftsman 8” drill press didn’t have a long enough column to do the job right. My brother, a master machinist, lengthened the column by adding 14” or so to it. The drill press is so much more useful now.

    I made two mistakes building the River press.
    Both were drilling the 1/8” hole for the pin that locks the rotation. Although I measured, punched, and carefully drilled, I missed the mark twice. Oh well.

    It surely gets the job done. Love it.
