Dogmeat Hydraulic Press
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 вер 2018
- In this video we fabricate a small 10 ton hydraulic press out of some leftover materials laying around the shop. My arbor press was not up to the task of straightening some bent box and pan brake fingers. We make good use of the Marvel saw for this project. Welding machines used were a Miller Syncrowave 300 and a Millermatic 200 MIG welder.
A lot of people see you as a machinist but your welding work is also exceptional.
This is why I love your videos and channel so much. Need something bend? Just quickly build a neat little hydraulic press that works like a charm! The knowledge and experience you have is remarkable, rarely have I seen problems being solved this well.
The collected set of tools doesn't hurt, either...
I bought a 60 ton train jack with an 8" stroke at a flea market. It came off a service truck for CSX Rail. I don't know why I felt the need to buy it, but it was only $90 and I thought I could use it for a log splitter or something. I ended up making a frame very similar to this one and made an aluminum can crusher. It will crush a can down to 1/8" and makes it into a solid slug. So then I put recycle bins all around the shop and from all my family and friends. Since then, I have made over $680 in aluminum sales to scrap yards. The trick is space. $10 worth of cans will take up a pickup truck bed. With the crusher, I can get that down to a fraction of that. Maybe a 55 gallon drum.
That’s a hella lot of cans. The soda and beer companies must love you guys. $680 in aluminum scrap is over a ton of aluminum, and that’s conservative. How nay cans, at a tiny fraction of an ounce each, does it take for one ton?
that roll-in saw is amazing. I need this in my life.
Yeah I've never seen one untell now
Very similar to one I built when I was young, except it’s straight, square, doesn’t bind, is properly welded, the design is superior, and it works. Enjoyed watching!
I am consistently impressed with your shop and your abilities. Thanks for making the video and posting it for those who like to watch your dogmeat press creation in this instance.
Woof!
This has tremendous potential for a small shop like mine with 1/2 and 3 ton arbor presses. This easily & reversibly adapts equipment I already have into a machinery lift - and keeps the original functions! Fantastic. Thank you for investing the time and energy make the video.
Get her done!
More gronk for your dollar is ALWAYS a good thing! Nice quick and EFFECTIVE build. Thanks!
Yes, I have tool envy. I love that saw! Missed your videos lately. Hope you had a good summer. Great build btw.
I’m lucky enough to work in a workshop with a minimal budget for new tools, so I knock out pretty much everything I need using offcuts and scrap. My press frame is just tall enough to get a 20 t bottle jack into. The 3 bits of I beam, ganged up, at the top flex less than the 20mm solid plate at the bottom. Love these vids of yours and your books have given me a “leg up” at work. Sincere thanks to you Tom.
Covid is in full swing in Melbourne thankyou Tom for keeping me busy and my mind active in what I'm definitely building next
Thanks Tom! Always a great watch. I always learn something.
I'm a little disappointed when I check my subscriptions and note that you haven't put out a new video but of course life and work gets in the way.
Thank you for your time Tom!!
Very cool Tom! really enjoy seeing the thought process and layout of the project and the fabrication.
Good stuff Tom! Amazing what you can make out of the chowder box. Glad to see you are back to posting stuff.
Another great video. Interesting content, well explained as usual. The editing really makes the story move along.
Great Video! Sometimes when you don't have what you need you build it! You build a press to fixed a brake to build a parts for another machine. Sometimes the longest rout is your only path I guess but, on the bright side you now have a 10 ton mobile press that you have added to your arsenal of great tools. Great welding there too! Awesome job!
"Get back to what we were supposed to be working on!" that has a familiar ring to it Tom.
I was worried about the welds breaking since they had to take all of the force. Clearly they are much stronger than I expected -- Today I Learned! Thanks for teaching me something new and the excellent content, Tom!
Nice build, Tom. I like the idea of being able to move the ram. I lust after your saw!
That is one wicked cool annular cutter. Cool little project, Tom!
thanks for acknowledging metric system,..it adds value to the already valuable info/tut.
I'd like to have a personal shop large enough for it to echo when I talk to myself. I could use the feedback.
Making something complex seem easy to meat head like me is impressive sir. I love the brief moment when I think I could do something like this myself before reality creeps back in.
I'm not a machinist but it's neat watching you work on stuff and all your neat acquisitions.
1:32 "We need more gronk." I laughed, "Yep, you definitely need more gronk."
Nice job Tom! Thanks for the video, Cheers, Doug
You are giving me ideas Tom Love the press. Could of used one like this yesterday. Sweet build. Hope Mr. seal holds under a load. Nice video 👍
Table Cad, he said table cad!! I think I broke my elbow when I hit the floor! Dammit man, I've got class Monday!😎 Great video. Problem solving 101! Love that saw by the way. Oh, and you're not such a bad welder either. Lol!
Nice bit of "Table Top CAD." Have done some myself in past. Useful little press with impressive push to it, great video on its build.
I like your little press. Good use of equipment you already have around. You should show your dermatologist the clips where you are tig welding with bare forearms.
NICE Job Tom! Didn't think it would have worked out so well but glad it did!
Hey it got the job done and materials were already lying around. Love it.
Oxtool dogmeat beats many guys prime rib.
Great work as always, thanks for sharing. I always learn something from watching a master at work.
Hey Tom I work on enerpac equipment, if you’d like I’d send you out a kit for your rc106 free of charge, repayment for all the great content
Best bandsaw on youtube in my opinion, its amazingly accurate. Plus and your welding skills are also top notch Tom. Little press is pretty sweet! ~ Richard
A very stout and nice looking tool. Always inspiring, Tom.
For me the most helpful thing is you stated your confidence in the maximum load not exceeding the materials, tbh didn't think it would happily take ten and yet there it was. like magic. Sweeet.
nice build, that is cool. you really put the gronk on it too. WOW.. I was stressing on that one,, thanks for the video
Well done, I wish I had seen yours before I built mine. Although I was working with a different pile of scraps but it works.
Great build Tom! Enjoyed it.
I enjoyed seeing the thought processes and design, for me that was the most interesting part of this very interesting video. Thanks for sharing!
Nice build. Good video.
That was awesome Tom, really love your videos, wish you put out more of them. As soon as I get a couple projects knocked out I am going to make an Oxtool Sign for your shop. I will send an email to see if you can send me the CAD/Vector file for your logo.
Right on!
Best,
Tom
The way you work is awesome,I mean you got it all ! I have to do a similar project at school, Im taking notes ahha. Keep up the sweet work.
Wow! So knowledgeable, as usual. Love the videos
That's one straight cutting saw.
Thanks for another one!
Your arbor press makes mine look like a Christmas ornament.
I heard a gay couple say that once.
That’s an awesome 1DB, one day build! Machinist answer: “because I can”. Cool.
Nice design and interesting build. Cool video. Hey, I'm still watchin', must be good! Thanks for sharing.
As usual a nice video, been meaning to build a small press this size for a while.
Good work man! Thanks for sharing.
I love how clean is your work and your work style! Almost surgical, I would say! :) Subscribed!
Great build, great video thank you!.
Love it! Gonna make one for me! (It'll be my first and likely only press (except for my 3 ton arbor press, of course.))
This is some excellent yak shaving for sure! Love your work!
Thank you for the inspirational video... You are a National Treasure.
Nicely done. I love the fact I can make my own tools with my powerarc.
I love your saw Tom!!! I thought for a moment you might need another ton or two of grunt, but it worked.
Great new tool to add to the shop!!
Watching the arbor press flex is pretty cool.
Just like every job! first see that the tools in the shop lack the moxy design and build the tool to do the job repeat! great table cad!!!
That power feed saw is NICE
Love it, you will find a lot of use out of that little guy!
the ability to cut a hole with the cutter turning in the wrong direction is truly amazing.
What a cool saw!
Neat little press, I'm making one pretty much the same size for a mill restoration I'm doing as I got stuck when it came time to pressing a new set of bearings into the quill.
Nice Press , maybe a pressure gauge .
Looks like you had a weeks worth of sun burn on that arm in a couple of hours !
COVER THEM UP or mabe tape a stencil on your arm with a pretty pattern
Great content keep them up
Too many guys think that since they don’t weld all day, it’s ok. I just came from a channel where the guy doesn’t even wear work gloves, much less welding gloves. I’m surprised at Tom though, because he knows so much, and is so experienced.
A couple of years ago, or so. Jim, from Jimbo’s Garage, had cancer cut out of his arm’s. He welds, and wears short sleeves. Anyone want to guess where he got the cancer from?
Nice work Tom, I enjoy these "problem solving" type videos. They must have put some serious gronk to bend those fingers like that.
Very cool Tom. I like it.
you didn't already have a hydraulic press? You gave me a good laugh making that instead of just buying one. Then you cut that square tube perfectly in half..... and then some perfect tig welds.... and that is why I watch. I love your content.
I enjoy watching you work and problem solve. :-)
Love it. Also love that bandsaw.
funny, i use a beat up file to knock off spatter too. Clever build Tom!
If you look closely you may be able to see that I ground a knife bevel on one side and a chisel bevel on the nose. Its my go to spatter knife.
Cheers,
Tom
Love it Tom, Well Done!
You got some great equipment Tom!
Great little press. Nice back of the napkin design.
Those are some pretty impressive tig welding in awkward positions
We had one of those pistons like that we bought from Harbor Freight or some where and we used it to move bronze pieces so we could weld them together to make a giant sculptures or monuments. Yeah they leak at the seal often from being new.
niiiice! better than the Chinese 12 ton I have still haven't taken that bottle jack apart to fix all the leaks love the radius's you chose for the last video the match kinda at the back there where it says brown and sharp, got a bathroom I gotta remodel for less that $150 dollars starting with a stainless johny ring and some Wal-Mart nexus vynal tiles framing under the head with some hem-fir going all out brass screws and all so basicly thanks for taking my mind off that for a bit really hit the spot
Need a tool make a tool. Love it!
In fact, a tool to fix a tool to make a part to commission a tool.
i love these kinds of project videos
GREAT VIDEO !!!
Good job!
Awesome press
Making something to repair something to repair something else.the fun never ends lol
Loved the press...
Great little press build, and a neat design study wrt considerations for construction. Interesting the things that just fall out of your mind after years of doin the dang thing! 👍🤙🐕🙊😂
Nice one mate.
Definitely fit for purpose.
Lovely bandsaw btw.
Just what I need in my garage for wheel bearings etc..
I always learn from you thanks
Great job in a short time...cool
Professional, thanks you!
Love that bandsaw.
Audio much better toward end. Awesome content audio is 50 percent of the battle !!
Like it. Good job.
Very nice!
Most Excellent Mr. Tom -jim
That gave an idea to do the same with my porta power. Make me a shop press.
nice work.
Did anyone else see the base of the arbor press flex when Tom was pulling on it at minute 1:00, it must have moved a 1/4"
I thought it might crack.
yeah, probably ductile iron, cast would have maybe cracked....pipe on the press handle?....and those finger brake parts get bent the same way....overworking the brake with sheet metal too heavy. Some TONS required to straighten...
Even with a cheater bar, bar some flaw in the material, that press wouldn't pop. I think they are designed to take 4 times the mechanical force that's naturally obtained without a cheater bar. Read it in a sales pitch in some old magazine. AKA old timey commercial bragging.
Why would you assume Tom did the abuse, when he bought it used?
I had to look away, I'm guessing it wasn't cast iron then.
