"Hey there folks @ Skunk, much respect- I really enjoyed this. Being a machinist, I went to the shop and grabbed some 1" ID chrome moly tubing and some 1" OD cold rolled steel and 30 min later, had a nice pressing device for our 20 ton press. Followed your guidance, I was making nice 1/4" slugs of canna-buttons shortly after. Going to try making the various versions to test and pass around. This was a nice discovery as I have not really thought about why trim and leaf was harsh, the analogy makes perfect sense. Thanks for taking the time to present this us. Warm regards, The Captain"
