well even though I'm handicapped kinda i can't stop working on my mini hydrolic press. it's very slow going now as i only have one hand to do things. but i have made some great improvements to it. first i removed the little lowering T bolt and made another one on the lath that was like 5" long with a t handle so its easy to control with one hand. and also i solved the binding problem if stock is not kept centered in the press dies. i put the HF jack on the surface grinder and ground the top of the jack flat as it was not very flat at all. then i got some 3/4" thick plate and welded it to the top of the jack ram screw. now the press anvil cant tilt and bind up. so far so good. i am adding some other stuff later as i have the time but for now that's all i have done. i will post some pictures later so you can see how it works.
