In addition to getting the oven instructions from Binghams', there are numerous oven buildalongs on-line.  I did one when I built mine:

I had some space problems.  If i did it again, I'd go at least 6" longer.

as far as a "press" goes, I've used clamps up till now.  I use the pin clamp system like Louis Armbruster.  Again, I posted making my clamps and form:

I'm remodeling my shop and getting ready to try to air pressure clamp and heat strip method.  My next adventure...  but no input yet.  Still getting the shop rewired and re-organized and waiting for the strips.
