H - Frame Press Plans?

[Rene E. Roy]

Does anyone know where I can get H - Frame press plans...I am looking to build a small H - frame press...for inside my shop.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Bob Warner has a non-specific set of plans that will give you enough information to piece one together.

If you get started, keep us posted. I plan to have one built by spring if I can manage it. Have you picked up Batson's book on a hydrolic press yet? Goes into quite a bit of detail that you will find helpful.

I will keep you posted...I am starting to look for parts now....No I haven't gotten his book, but I plan to...Thanks again.

If you need to make room in that shop for a press, you let me know.

What I can't get from Surplus Center I plan to get from Northern Tool. The guy at the junkyard thinks I'm looney as I've been there the last three saturdays checking out his surplus I beams.

Talk to a bridge contractor == excess "I" beams are junk to them.

Any other sources for FREE plans for either a press or air hammer?
