I'd like to make simple impressions into a 1/8" thick brass disk 1
1/2" wide. More of an arts and crafts project han machining...
I was thinking I'd use an arbor press, such as

Question is, if I want to make simple designs (small squares, circles
or triangles) - how do I attach these to the ram of the press?

The same way I attach pyrotechnic mould elements to them: Take the
ram/rack off the press. Line-bore a tapping hole for an attachment stud
size of your choice. (5/16 is about as big as you should go on that
little press) Tap the hole. Attach a stud of the same thread size to
your pressing formers. Screw former into hole. Press away.
