I think I'll break down and get a tortilla press too.

It looks like a solid recipe. Don't boil the meat like the recipe says though. Once your pot starts boiling turn it down to a simmer and give it 2 - 2.5 hours. Alternatively you could brine the meats overnight using the tamale seasonings, roast them in the oven, then deglaze the pans with a flavorful liquid for the masa.

I like that idea. Would you suggest stock to deglaze?

You could use stock but remember to take in to account that most stocks are salty so you have to make adjustments elsewhere. I would use red wine vinegar or maybe even a decent Mexican wine, red or white. Start with just enough to deglaze the pan though and go from there. Lime and lemon juice go well with Mexican flavors also. Have some hot water standing by so you can dilute it to your likely yet still have enough for the Masa. The meat should be the star of the dish though so the Masa should compliment the meat and not compete with it.
My favorite thing about cooking is experimenting. Write down your ingredients and measurements. If you don't like the taste of it or think you should add this or that try it out next time and make the change on your recipe. After a couple times making you now have your very own recipe just the way you like it.

I can never find decent corn husks here in Denmark. I ask after them and they look at me like I'm nuts.

That's another thing I need; a crockpot.
I have to use my cast iron in place of one, since I can't get one out to Denmark that doesn't blow up when I hook it up to the power transformer.
