Nice job Doc, I'd call it the "Blue Wonder" as in "I wonder where he got that blue stuff"

I picked up a DE-STA-CO 603 toggle clamp at the local Graingers last night.
I welded 2 pieces of 2" channel steel together.
4" base and 6.5" upright. The 'Press' was bolted to the upright, and a 5/16" bolt was installed in the end of the plunger after the hex head was ground to fit into the cylinder's bores.
A 7/16" bolt fits the cylinder for the arbor, so I cut down a grade 8 bolt and used the head and unthreaded portion. After measuring several times, I drilled the 7/16" hole and pushed the bolt up from the bottom of the base, then tig welded it in place. Pefect fit. Now I need to make an aluminum thrust washer to protect the ratchet face on the back of the cylinder.
It's a single purpose loader. It fits my Pietta Marshal 1851 .44. I presume it also fits 1860 and 1861 cylinders? also it would work on 36 caliber cylinders with a new plunger tip.
The 1863 pocket Remmie was a gift from my wife.
