How many tacos can you make at once in those U-shaped slots?

Just looking at the way its made again... Thought I'd toss out some more... musings... The half cylinder thing could actually mount on a long rod that went from one side of a press to the other...using the center deepest notch to place onto the rod... Then, if this press had some kind of "ends" that clamped against the ends of the brass roll thing to hold it in position on the rod at the exact place along it where the "imprint" would need to line up... Now, with most small etching plate presses that I've worked with....The etching plate and the wet paper go through a sort of crushing roller thing that forces them together under tremendous pressure. You use a "wheel" that you crank to make the press bed move through the roller gizmo... But what if this press used a large lever that could exert leverage and rock the curved surface of the plate against the paper lying on a stationary bed beneath... You'd get lots of force, but not have to move a super large bed with a sheet of paper to fill in details like signatures.... BTW, I've wanted to do some etchings recently, but I don't have a good press... Was thinking of building something that I could drive my truck onto so that one front tire would create enough pressure to squash the paper and the plate together... Always a project "happening" around here.... (0:
