Wood is not something I've ever considered using to build and arbor press. I'm pretty sure that 4 ton bottle jack could easily destroy it.
Arvid is right, it's pretty tough to build a press as cheap as you can buy one these days. I have a HF press myself and it's one of the few HF products I'm actually satisfied with, other than shop rags and stuff with one moving part or fewer.
