Good idea. I have one of HF's small presses that I never use. I could shorten it up, maybe add some additional holes on the vertical rails. Probably find myself using it more.
Real nice design you came up with! The trampoline springs are great too. I always love repurposing parts like that. It gives the machine a more interesting history. 👍
Muy buen video , es exactamente el tamaño de prensa que estaba buscando para hacerla . Ni tan grande , ni tan chica , además la puedes mover solo, o si quieres transportarla , no pesa tanto .
Really nice build! Love that you own your mistakes in your videos and share your thought process as you make adjustments to your design. Makes you a great teacher! Have to say though, your long hair makes me super nervous around the drills, lathe, etc...! But maybe I’m just jealous because I’m balding!! 🤣🤣 Love your channel - keep up the great work!
Good!!vi em outros vídeo se eu abrir a prensa hidráulica e colocar um canudo da entrada que puxa o óleo da pra inverter a prensa sera que não casa o óleo?
Nicely done, I have watches several videos on building small hydraulic press and this is one of the nicer ones and simple too, some were overly complicated to build, not that I could not do that but I figure why make things complicated it they do not need to be.
I used this video as a tutorial and it worked great. The only problem I had is the angle iron I used was too thin and it bent on me. I gotta remake it. Thank you. New subscriber!!🔥🔥🔥
Marking the legs removeable is a good idea. I would have used selfsecure bolds instead of screws. That would make it a lot easier and faster. I although would put a hole on ether end of the feet to store the feet with the bolds on the press when not in use.
Bob I really enjoy your projects and your build videos ,your designs are always spot on and the execution makes it look very easy for the average person to do at home. I will probably be making one of these , will have to look in my metal scrap pile and see what I can dig up . I have built a vertical bandsaw with the he harbor freight bandsaw and have been very pleased with it. It is one of my most used items when doing a metal projects. Wondering how you like your horizontal bandsaw do you get square cuts from it ? Have you thought of adding a pneumatic downfeed cylinder so you don’t have to hold your hand on it while cutting? If so it would be a great project to do a video on . As always great videos great content thank you
I get square cuts from it as long as it does not cut too fast on thin material. That's why I'm holding it, to keep it from cutting too fast. I have thought about putting a pneumatic cylinder on it, but have no idea which one to buy or where to get it. Thanks for watching!
It's so nice to see how you made the press. It seems the lathe rpm was too high while you drilled the press rod and that can ruin the drill bit quite quickly. Cheers.
I believe that's called fast forward.. a editing trick to make time faster so you the viewer spends less time watching videos instead of building stuff. And you thought you were telling the dude how to use his machine..ha
love it. new fan. i make all my own tools pretty much, i think my add would have it no other way. oh, yeah, most of them are not quite finished lol, just enough to use for the other things im building!
Hello Sir. Thank you for the video Can I please know about the dimensions of the hydraulic press? The length and the thickness of the parts you are using, the spring specifications, and the size of the screw
Great press! Just wondering why you’d pick a jack with such a low tonnage? I found a 20 ton jack today for 30 dollars. Plan on making my own press soon
I have a small fabricating and welding shop here at my house. I love your videos and your work. A question about this press, how about adding a metal brake application to the press? A fixture?
Nice video,man!! I made a similar one, your's is a *very good* press too; it would match you , if you got a haircut and grew a moustache,ever thought about that? edit: find some time to put some of that oil spray on the drill press, little sandpaper,it's starting to look like...brown.
Excellent video Bob. Can you share the rough dimensions for the key supports and legs? I have a HF floor unit now, but I may build your design to gain some floor space!
Exactly what I was going to ask, thanks for the details, wouldn’t mind making one for myself for broaching keyways and pressing bearings in and out etc. 👍👍👍
Great work. Would you tell me the brand of drill bits you use. I was impressed with the down pressure you had on those small bits. I didn't see any flex in them.
Thanks to our beloved Joe, metal prices skyrocketed so it makes more sense to buy already finished product then to go shopping for metal, driving, labor and time and supplies. Still, the joy of making your own is priceless.
вот только интересно, ступичный подшипник сможет вынуть? Не порвет ли отверстие в квадратной стойке? I just wonder if the hub bearing can be removed? Won't the hole in the square rack break?
You remind me of that cool hippy from the the neighborhood that was always fix8ng and breaking things. Cars, fridges, lawnmowers, ac units.
Yeah, that was me.
I really like the scale of both this press and your band saw. Perfect for those of us with limited space!
Great little setup. Inexpensive and very functional
Good idea. I have one of HF's small presses that I never use. I could shorten it up, maybe add some additional holes on the vertical rails. Probably find myself using it more.
Good build Mr. Rickey Scaggs!
Very very nicely explained, simple to see, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for auto-answering my only question about screwing legs. :)
Kinda loved the video! that was very pleasing to watch!
A great fun little project
outstanding job on this project
Great design. I love that it can be stored flat to take up less space. Thanks for another awesome video!
Thanks for watching!
Nice job perfect size!!! Good thinking about the legs
Great job of making stuff. Enjoyed the video.
great build. smart move with the legs
Very good job and beautifull. Many thancks
Great work Mate!!!!
Real nice design you came up with! The trampoline springs are great too. I always love repurposing parts like that. It gives the machine a more interesting history. 👍
Glad you liked it!
Nice simple yet strong design. Well done.
Thanks!
Muy buen video , es exactamente el tamaño de prensa que estaba buscando para hacerla . Ni tan grande , ni tan chica , además la puedes mover solo, o si quieres transportarla , no pesa tanto .
La mejor de todo TH-cam 👏👏👏
Great build! Perfect size too. Like the fact that it can be done with no welding too, will use it to build my own.
Thanks for watching!
great job ! thanks
I done my own, thanks a lot.
Gracias amigo . Saludos Mty.N.L México.
New subscriber from Mexico, Thank you !
Thanks for subbing!
Way cool that's all I would need is a bench top hydrolic press 👍🏽
Good job,an well done,
Thanks! I'm going to make one of these tonight when I go into work. My trampoline springs should arrive today from Amazon.
Thanks a bunch!
great video! especially the part about storage!!!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
Awesome sauce!
Easy to build a press drilling them Holes that takes some time. And you do need some sort of metal saw to cut the metal in pieces.
Valeu, gostei muito, parabéns, thank you
Thanks sir very helpful video 👌👏👍
Very good looking press
Thanks for sharing
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
Gostei do projeto, prensa pequena e eficiente
I was wanting to make one just like it and find your video. Great job and thanks for the great video.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
amazing quality man! great work.
Thanks!
Got all stuff needed to make one! Thanks for this video! Now i gona made one myself.
Mine gona being little higher 😁
Really nice build! Love that you own your mistakes in your videos and share your thought process as you make adjustments to your design. Makes you a great teacher!

Ww
Good!!vi em outros vídeo se eu abrir a prensa hidráulica e colocar um canudo da entrada que puxa o óleo da pra inverter a prensa sera que não casa o óleo?
Looks just like a professional one. Great job.
Thank you very much!
Great job! Inspired me to build my own now!
Thanks for watching!

Glad it was helpful!
Love the idea of the bolted legs
Yeah, it comes in handy. I don't use this tool very often so it comes a part and takes up less space for storage.
Nice work Bob!
Thank You!
muy bueno tu trabajo german desde 🇦🇷
Buen trabajo compañero
Perfeito, vou fazer a minha assim👏👏👏👏
haaa vai
I used this video as a tutorial and it worked great. The only problem I had is the angle iron I used was too thin and it bent on me. I gotta remake it. Thank you. New subscriber!!🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for watching!
Симпатичненький и аккуратненький пресс получился, но вместе с ними также и мощненький 👍
Buenos días excelente prensa hermano lo felicito gracias por enseñar bendiciones desde Venezuela Carabobo Ali Molina

Доброго дня , молодець , просто і я вважаю що доступно. Дякую.
awesome project well done
Glad you like it
By replacing the bolts on each leg with a pull pins, you could fold it up instantly. GREAT PROJECT!
Thanks for the tip!

Simple process sir ji
Neat! 👏🏻
very well done !!
Thanks a lot!
nice press. i might make something similar for a forging press but 24+ ton. if i used 6 rams would it make 24 ton or do i need to get a 24 ton jack?
love it. new fan. i make all my own tools pretty much, i think my add would have it no other way. oh, yeah, most of them are not quite finished lol, just enough to use for the other things im building!
Yeah some of them seem to always be a work in progress. Thanks for watching!
Отличная работа! 👍Самый лучший компактный пресс. Какие у него размеры?
Hello Sir. Thank you for the video
Can I please know about the dimensions of the hydraulic press? The length and the thickness of the parts you are using, the spring specifications, and the size of the screw
🤓greeting from Egypt , one day l will follow your way of building such nice and simple hydraulic press best wishes and happy new year
Thanks for watching!
Полезная штука. Всех благ.
Muito bom,vou fazer um pra mim Brasil
شكرا جزيلا لك
Man! Wish I had one of these.
Thanks for watching!
Very nice build a lot of guys use these types of bottle jack presses in hobby pyro. I wish I had all the stuff to build 1.
Thanks for watching!
perfect, really good job.help us. plz share material details.
Nice video, perfect size!!! .....cheeers from Amsterdam
Thanks for watching!
Great press! Just wondering why you’d pick a jack with such a low tonnage? I found a 20 ton jack today for 30 dollars. Plan on making my own press soon

Always a possibility. Thanks for watching!
Very good sir
Very good my friendy. Congratulations 😀👏👏👍👍
Thank you very much
Hi
What steel would you recommend for a 5 ton hydraulic press?
really a good video.
Thanks!
Norm Abram would be proud. You need to be on PBS.
Thanks!
Nice video,man!! I made a similar one, your's is a *very good* press too; it would match you , if you got a haircut and grew a moustache,ever thought about that?
edit: find some time to put some of that oil spray on the drill press, little sandpaper,it's starting to look like...brown.
Excellent video Bob. Can you share the rough dimensions for the key supports and legs? I have a HF floor unit now, but I may build your design to gain some floor space!
All of the angle iron is 19" in length and the square tube is 24" in length.
Exactly what I was going to ask, thanks for the details, wouldn’t mind making one for myself for broaching keyways and pressing bearings in and out etc. 👍👍👍
Ótimo parabéns a minha eu fiz com parafuso no lugar da solda e base móvel para as peças e pistão e macaco hidráulico invertido mas ficou joia parabéns
Nice build brother
Thanks for watching
Excellent
Thank you so much 😀
Nice job 👍👍👍
Thanks you!
thanks Mr.
for sharing this video
You are welcome
Very nice!
Thanks!
Nice job
Thanks!
That a cool saw :o
Buenas noches hermano excelente video de esa prensa está perfecta te felicito muchas bendiciones 🙏 desde Venezuela Carabobo Ali Molina
Great work. Would you tell me the brand of drill bits you use. I was impressed with the down pressure you had on those small bits. I didn't see any flex in them.
dont know what brand but the best type of bits for cutting Steel is cobalt
They are Dewalt. I have no loyalty to them other than they are the best I can get locally. I'm sure there are better.
Thanks for the video awesome build I'm about to make my own now off your content thanks again 🤘😁✌️
No problem 👍
Thanks to our beloved Joe, metal prices skyrocketed so it makes more sense to buy already finished product then to go shopping for metal, driving, labor and time and supplies.
Still, the joy of making your own is priceless.
Yeah steel prices are insane right now. They can just keep it. I had to postpone a big project due to it now cost 3x to build.
Very good.
Thanks!
вот только интересно, ступичный подшипник сможет вынуть? Не порвет ли отверстие в квадратной стойке? I just wonder if the hub bearing can be removed? Won't the hole in the square rack break?
muy bueno melenita
Good effort but I feel the angle iron would soon distort especially with my use.
Молодец👌
Man, that is a super looking little press I love it. What is the height and the inside width?
I've had a lot of people ask about dimensions so I just put them in the description. The 3D Sketchup drawing is available to all Maker+ Patreons.
