I'd love a cube press, but was just wondering whether it is difficult to use? I'm not a great one for presses, I really only use my Kalera and SS lentil, so I don't want to waste money on it if I can't get to grips with it :o
Nope, not difficult at all, in fact it's one of the easiest I have. It's just a case of making a nice dimpled round bead, then squashing the heck out of it. If it's not quite bit enough, I add one small dot on each of its faces and the melt it round again and re-press, just don't overfill it. It's a lovely press, very effective, and the shape is very popular with my customers. ;)
Where did you get it from Sue?
Aha, now that would be telling. A rather nice lady on the forum sold it to me, it wasn't up for sale anywhere, but she knew I was looking for one. I have the Bavarian beads Cubes 2, excellent choice of sizes and easy to use.

Yep _ I got one from from here http://www.bavarianbeads.com/product_info.php?products_id=88
I love the cubes you do Sue and was thinking about one of these, the shape is sooo satisfying. I think Marie Louisa - Beadpress does them too?
Looks like you've talked me into it! Thanks for the feedback :)
