Do agoogle search for Apple Archery, they have several different models that you can use as a template..

For teh roller part, you can buy rollers similar from Princess Auto for about $3.00

That first link is where the press is. It's in post #21.....scroll down the page until you see post #21 (up in the right hand corner) and PM the guy for the plans - as he asks.

BTW this is post #7. See it?

Does it work with parallel limb bows as well?

Yes they do, just make sure you back off your limb bolts a couple turns first. It's alot easier on the limbs and takes less pressure with your bow press by doing this.
