Linked from Christmas Gift to the World. These are files for the Brick Press frame according to the Torch Table Digital Fabrication Process.
Conceptual Reference
Note: CNC torch table version has one lip on bottom u-channel and the compression chamber plates are converted to a single plate.
Context:

Frame Assembly Procedure from Flat Cutouts
To do a model test cut:
2. Download the File:CEB frame.dxf 3. Cut these out on laser. Size is 44", reduce it 1/4 scale to make it workable. 4. Assemble. Glue the lips and other pieces together. This test asssesses that all fits together as it should to obtain a 3D structure from 2D cuts. Use pins of some sort in the bolt holes. The bolt holes make the frame adjustable for exact fit. The space between the 2 verticals should be exactly 16.2 inches - scaled down by your scale factor. That is the ultimate test. And, this should be adjustable by 0.4" in either direction. We are exploring perfect fit (+/- 1/32") with unskilled labor - which CNC allows. 5. See the annotated picture of the real frame. Taking pic now.
