The making-of for my kydex press, start to finish. I tried to fast forward the long or boring parts but if you just want to see the finished press go to 21:13.

Made it out of MDF, two quick clamps, screws and some split pins.
The foam is from a kickboard, made from EVA which is supposed to work well.

I saw this type of press in the video below and recreated it:
