Yes it's true! I am finally getting some work done on my press. School, work, track, and baseball had been cutting into my schedule so I haven't been able to work on it much in the last few months. However, 3/4 of those activities are finished with for the summer (can't stop working :) ). My hydraulic parts have been in my room for months now :mad:, and I'll be happy to get them out :).



I bought the materials to make the frame and gave them to a professional welder, that I know, a while ago. I just recently was able to go to his shop and help him finish it up.





Here is it painted up with cylinder in it.







What do yall think?
I'll make sure to update when I get it done.
Thanks for looking :).
 
Looking good, I built one very similar to that. Only thing I can sugest is use somthing heavy duty for guids, I used 2" channel and it didn't take long for side loads to bend them. Switched to 1/2" x4" flat bar and that solved the problem.
 
Looking Bubba:thumbup: :thumbup: Make sure you clean out the tank good and put a Hi-test magnet inside next to the return line.
