Let me guess... you loved jigsaws as a kid?
Good job!
As a matter of curiosity, do you hold the rings in ribbon-clamps while pressing? Or do you glue/thickness the rings seperately and only use the press for building up the form from completed rings? I imagine it'd be the latter, but everyone has different ways of making the world go 'round...

skew I use hose clamps to hold the rings together after gluing most times I have 2 small hose clamps together to get a larger size range and use the press to flatten the rings and then to build up bowl etc a lot of trial and error
