Mike;
Your dielapping set up is both great and hilarious!  Good style Sir.

Dan: 
You asked at the right place as most blacksmiths could  modify or make 
one for you.

RC Mundt;
There is a device called a die set that has guide posts to keep the 
travel true and  mounting plates top and  bottom to attach the dies to.  
Stick the die set with the dies in any big squeeze and you are in biz.  
A short section of big  H or I beam or channel will work with a big 
hydraulic jack, just weld heavy end plates on it. Not fast , but 
cheap....like me.
