What you need:
Saw (machine is quicker then hand)
A welding setup
Raw Materials (I used a big U-profile)
Hydraulic Jack of minimal 5 Metric Tons
Make sure the weldings are top quality:
And weld all around the profile
A complete view of the press:
The piece of wood is there to hold the press a bit in place, I could find a better solution for that ...
Some different pieces of cylinders and tubes for pressing stuffs, but also note the handle for easy moving of the unit :)
This press will be used for a multitude of things, from cracking nuts to pressing rocket engines.
