Step 2Hardware needed
Hardware Needed:
Below you'll find a list of all hardware needed for the project. Most of it can be found at your local hardware store, though you may find they don't have the total quantity of the c-clamps or springs on hand. You'll also need to go to a specialty woodworking store to find the swivel (lazy susan). Make sure you get a heavy duty, 7" x 7" x 1" model or you'll compromise the effectiveness of your press.
1 Lazy Susan Turntable, 7 x 7
8 Metal C-Clamps, 2" (height) x 1 (depth)
4 Hinges with hardware (screws), 3 1/2 wide
8 Hook & Eye Turnbuckles, 3/16" x 4 3/4"
8 Springs, 5/8" x 3 1/4" x .072"
8 Lag Eye Screws, 1/4" x 3 3/4"
4 Lag Eye Screws, 3/16" x 2 1/16"
4 Hex Cap Bolts, 1/4" x 1 1/4"
4 Hex Cap Bolts, 1/4" x 1 3/4"
2 Hex Cap Bolts, 3/8" x 7"
2 Carriage Bolts, 3/8" x 3
8 Hex Nuts, 1/4"
2 Hex Nuts, 3/8"
4 Washers, 3/16"
6 Washers, 3/8"
8 Fender Washers, 1 1/4" diameter
2 Wingnuts, 3/8"
1 Pound 2.5 Wood Screws
Several 2" and 3 Wood Screws as needed
Sorry for the shameless self promotion, but you can buy all this hardware in one place here:

Naturally I benefit from these sales, but since I've bought a whole bunch of this hardware in bulk, you can get it cheaper here, plus you'll save yourself from having to find a specialty store with the swivel and from spending 2 hours at the hardware store finding all the parts. It's really a win win deal, but I'll stop before I sound too spammy.
Okay, self promotion over, now back to the instructable...

It seems like this instructable and your site say 2 different things

The hard piece to find is the swivel/lazy susan as they don't have sturdy enough ones at the hardware store. You have to go to a woodworking specialty store or you can just buy the whole set of hardware from PrintingPlans.com.
