Homemade Hydraulic FORGING Press - EXTREME POWER!! 💪
Hope yall like my homemade hydraulic forging press! I originally made this H-frame hydraulic press based off of Ron "Bowie" Claiborne's design back in 2006. This is a mix between a rebuild and a restoration; so I hope yall like it! It should be noted that these plans are for educational purposes only... They have not been evaluated by a structural engineer. Use these plans and build a press at your own risk. ⭐ Free Plans / 3D Files / Calculator - / 55107545 🔸Hydraulic Components (In approximate flow order): 12 Gal Tank - https://www.northerntool.com/shop/too...
