Another good way to make a good press is find one of those old time furniture clamps with the screw in type rod. Drill a hole slightly larger than the rod, take the clamp apart, put the bottom clamp under the board(Has to be for a suspended table at least 2 feet from the ground) and then slide the rod down through the center of the two boards. put the clamp back together, and raise it up high enough for the feet to clear the top board. Then pull the toes back a little, and start screwing down the top clamp. It effectively compresses the toes down and holds the soles open and exposed taut for your tickling pleasure. You can find those clamps at flea markets and older resale shops most of the time.I like this version because of its simplicity to build, and you drill the hole in the center of the board, and it gives even pressure on both feet at the same time. Not much adjustment. Just my opinion. Good luck building whatever you come up with. I personally build all kinds of bondage equipment from wood. Stocks, X-frames, I'm working on a stretching rack at the moment. Its fun and enjoyable to use when it's finished. LOL! Everything I build, is raw, unfinished. gives it the more medieval look and feel to it. I do pad the holes in the stocks and a seat, but the wood isn't sanded,just stained a dark cocobolo color. Ok. I'm off on a tangent. sorry. Have fun.
