mini hydraulic press

From a discussion on another forum, the press pictured would require a lot of added steel to keep it from bending. One poster said that his H-Frame HF press like the one pictured bent at less than 10 tons of pressure while he was trying to do something.

People are making a similar mini-press using the 20 ton HF air over hydraulic either with the H-frame you referenced or making an I-beam (think log splitter) for a more open press body. I plan on making the I-beam press because it's going to be cheaper, less fabrication and more efficient for my uses.
 
Off topic, but Knives Plus is a great place to buy factory made knives. It's right up the road from me, in fact I used to live just a few blocks away. Good folks and great service. I've seen that video before, I wasn't aware that it originated in Amarillo. Unless it's just posted for info purposes.

I also have seen the ibeam press and like the looks of it quite a bit.
