Title: Removing a handle knob
Post by: Alto Mare on May 24, 2015, 08:37:19 PM
Not taking anything away from Mike ( Jerseymic ), he did a great job making a custom press.
I needed to remove a knob, this took a couple of seconds. Well a little more from me showing it to you, but one hand isn't easy to use.

Yes that is a half of a chopstick ;D and a small scrap of wood to keep it level.
Here I'm pressing it back in, sorry if it is bouncing around, again,  not easy using one hand

This press is a great tool.

Sal you might try using two hands.  One to hold the camera and one to work the press.   ;) :D ;D Dominick
