 The nipping press is the backbone of any bookbinding operation. If you want to buy a nipping press, your options are: absolute junk on Amazon, a $500-$1000 antique on eBay, or hemorrhaging money on a $300-$2000 modern press.

+My press is a ~100 year old design that my dad ran across in one of DAS Bookbinding's [excellent videos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfUCjqzfPv4). The basics are essentially one board, some feet, and a clamp. You should be able to follow his video as a build guide.

-The central clamp will define all ths capabilities of the press. Since pressure will be exerted from the center of the clamp, the clamp's throat depth will dictate 1/2 the width of the largest book you can press.

-For my press, we special-ordered a [Jorgensen 12in 1200lb](https://www.lowes.com/pd/Jorgensen-Jorgensen-24in-Deep-Reach-Steel-Bar-Clamp/5001993659) bar clamp with a 5in throat. Most hardware store clamps only offer about 3in, which is not deep enough. Jorgensen actually sells 7in and 9in clamps as well, but 5in is actually a pretty good size for most books.

 Our version is a bit more robust than what's demonstrated in DAS’s tutorial. Instead of using a single board, we laminated two boards together, creating a straighter, more durable product that is less likely to warp over time. We also added a floating caul made of stiffer oak to the top to distribute the pressure more evenly.
