Gunner: I have used a 1-ton arbor press to make 3/4" i.d. rockets.
For anything much larger, a heavier press would be needed.

Estes-size rocket motors are fairly easy to make. The right size
paper tubing is sold at
http://www.hobbyhorse.com/pyrotubes/index.shtml under "4 oz tubes".

There are people out there who make 3" dia blackpowder rockets using
10 or 20 ton hydraulic presses....

Best -- Terry
