$5 DIY Headset Press!

Built my homemade headset press for $5!    I followed the advice in this thread on MTBR: DIY Headset Press

Parts List:
1/2"x1' Threaded Rod - $1.52
1/2"x2" Flat washers (x8) - $1.92
1/2"x1" Flat washers (x3) - $0.60
1/2"      Hex nut (x3)        - $0.60
Total - $4.64

Here is the final product!

Clearly I could have gotten a better picture, but you get the idea :)

Installing the headset was pretty easy, the hard part was getting it to go in straight, but I think I would have had the same problem with the $70 Park tool headset installation tool.    I slowly did it and any time it appeared to be pressing in crooked, I would back off the hex nut, and realign everything to get it to straighten out...the key was to go slowly and take your time.

Looks good to me! :)
