It was several years ago Ed. I should point out that by "fully disassembled" I mean it comes boxed as several different assemblies that you have to put together, obviously.
The press frame is welded together and is one part. The apron consists of two pieces of channel that are also welded together and is another part etc.
The whole thing goes together in 10 minutes though.
I made a simple hand lever that I pinned to the release valve on the jack to make it easier to release the pressure on the jack. More control and faster to use than the jack handle. I also welded some large flat washers to the front of the apron pins to keep them from sliding all the way through the holes in the frame. I just about lost the apron a couple of times not realizing I bumped into the pins and almost pushed them out from under the apron.
