Hey, guys, I had the booth next to Jon at the Tennessee Classic, and I can assure you that the stave press is everything Jon says it is. I agree that it is a little pricey, but the thing is so strong and adaptable, that if you work with staves all the time, it would be a great investment. Jon is a super-nice guy who helped me pack up before the storm hit in Clarksville, so I thought I would give him a plug.
