No worries, I haven't built one in awhile either. The platen is made with the laser cutter and mdf. The impression plate can be made with a laser cutter and acrylic or you can order polymer plates from a company that makes them (I know of boxcar press). I guess the max size would be 2.5 is 4 inches for the impression plate; I just made the impression plate and paper business card sized.

Those are handle spacers made out of acrylic. you could make them from mdf if you want to. They are in the Hand&Ink_Press.AI file under the label 'handle spacers'. As long as the material you use is 1/4 inch thick they should work as spacers.
