9 Foot Tall, Hydraulic Press Build! 30 Plus ton press

In this video I show how I go about building a Hydraulic Press! My inspiration came from watching Keith Fenner! If anyone is interested in more details, I will be happy to update with more video etc.

That's a big press! We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎

Clever idea of using the magnets for coolant hose location.

[@Letsmakeitgreatagain.]

I'm sorry, I don't seem to recall using magnets.

@@Letsmakeitgreatagain. I thought it was a good idea also, you used the orange triangle welding clamps center hole to run the coolant line through when you were machining/drilling to position coolant hose at about 37 second mark

Another nice build, thanks for sharing it

Glad you like it

First class build, great work! Wondering what the dimension of the uprights are, I think you said the holes are 1-1/2". I'd like to see a slower pan or more still shots, the video went by too quickly. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@Letsmakeitgreatagain.]

So sorry I just saw your comment! And yes the holes were 1-1/2"! When I shot the footage for my hydraulic press, I was not yet a You-Tube producer! My recording equipment is evolving, likewise my style of shooting has also changing! Hope you like what I'm posting and I will try and produce an update showing some of my attachments I've made for my press!
