<p>Sure!</p>
<ul>
<li>1200x300mm melamine baseboard (the melamine coating stops the deck from being glued to the base board) - that's the white board in the photo</li>
<li>5.6 m of 70x35 pine - any hardware store will cut it to length for you - you want 8 x 400mm and 2 x 1200mm</li>
<li>4 pieces of 3/8" threaded rod - 1 metre long (you need to cut these in half to give you 8 pieces 500mm long)</li>
<li>24 x 3/8" nuts, 24 x 3/8" washers</li>

<li>2 "strips" of timber 1200mm long (I cut a piece of decking down the middle) - these are the red pieces of timber on the outside and how your concave is bent - the decking is 22mm thick.</li>
<li>the little metal 90 degree brackets just make it easier to ensure the rail doing all the pressing is centered and it's easy to lift up and drop down</li>
</ul>
<p>Other than that - a couple of spanners, a drill, a 3/8" drill bit, a few screws, and a steady hand! take your time to ensure the whole lot is lined up squarely - once you've got it all assembled, label each end (A and B or however you like) because if you don't you'll soon understand why when it wont go back together the first time you pull it apart!</p>
<p>I used to press 2 sheets of 6mmm ply together at a time rather than stuff around with multiple sheets of 3mm or 4mm and the results were pretty good.</p>

I use a rail press and 3mm ply. It is simple and cheap if you have some wood laying around
