I'll have to post a picture later, but I built a press several years ago similar to one my ex FIL used to press crabs caught from shrimping. You peel the back and pinchers off but leave the legs. wash out the guts and gills. Break bodies in half and put on ice for 24 hours. Put bodies in press legs first and pull the handle. Put a large bowl or pan under the ramp to catch the meat. Occasionally a cavity divider will fall in bowl, just pick it out. Its a bit messy and only really worth it if you have several dozen crabs. We pressed about 10 dozen crabs for what we got, but worth it.
