Ok here it is..........The guy I spoke with over the phone a couple of weeks ago is named Mark Dykstra. He lives in s/w lower Mich just south of Grand Rapids (I think). Then I called my buddy at his shop and told him about this discussion on AT. He told me that the presses that this guy is making are "knock-offs" of the EZ Press, and that he may not be making them for much longer due to possible patent infringment problems. For a while there I thought I was was going crazy because the presses this guy is making are identical to the EZ press. I don't want to get in the middle of kicking up a hornet's nest here, so I'll just leave it at that. Thanks.
