And now I am seeing that others are creating patterned presses...
but
my idea and would work great, create an insert brass, that can be used with the press and will IMPRESS the pattern.
Cheaper, you can use multiple pattern discs in the same press.
You will need to have them the size of the specific press and it probably would be better if the side were flat.
Now instead of having to buy a new press for a particular pattern, you can drop the disc into the bottom of the press and impress the design...
both sides...now that might take some doing but I think it can be done by letting it cool and then heating just one side...after all when you put your pattern in...you would prefer that the bead be cool and only the surface moldable.
ok ok then there is the getting it out and putting it in
but think about it...pressing images/patterns into your pressed beads without having to buy a whole new press....
If you run with it...maybe you will send me some of them
