Uno.... that's hilarious!
I do like the lexan idea. I can only think of a few more things that I'll need the press for before I sell it. Will 1/4 lexan be thick enough? Weave wire cloth sounds nice too since it will be easier to hang.
So your saying to make one?
Thermite may write funny*,

*One is reminded of James Joyce's comment on his work "Anyone wanting to understand my work will have to spend a lifetime". Or somesuch (anyone got the exact quote?)
Never got that far.
"Work" my arse. "Masturbating with the printed word", y'mean.
Joyce wasn't just hard to read. He weren't worth the effort!
Ireland only blessed him for lack of the distraction of a potato famine in his time to temper their wicked sense of humour.
No, he's advising you to make a substantial ram guide. One that will keep the ram vertical and centered. Most of the chinese presses come with a single loose-fitting plate.
Bolts won't fix a bad design, implemented badly.
The top bolts are 5/8"x6" now. You guys think grade 8 bolts are good enough or look for something stronger?
I'll get some 1.5" x 5/8"
Grade 5 should be fine. To do a nice job don't use the 1 1/2 bolts, they will have threads in the holes, get bolts that are straight shank in the holes so all or most of the threads are outside the holes. Different brands will probably have different shank lengths so shop around if you can. To make that look good you could cut off the excess threads, if they will be seen inside it.
