you should not apologize for your English speaking skills. I live in the US, you speak better than some who live here.
There was a discussion earlier about the capacity of your press. According to my calculations, with two 4.5 inch cylinders at 3000 psi, your press is rated at 47.7 US tons. This assumes everything is working at their very best. I'm no expert, but this press is one of the finest builds I have ever seen. You are very talented. Thank you for sharing! Jerry
Finally, a video author that realizes his viewership is global and states both metric and sae measurements. Your english is fine. Never apologize for multi-language skills.
Love your press. You put some details on that thing that most home built tools never have like the upper and lower stops etc. Keep up the good work.
Wow! A super nicely built machine! It's a beast. Squashing that square tubing was über cool !
Thanks Torbjörn, your channel is big inspiration for me. I heard you can also squash square tubing just like that on big powerhammer. Give it a go :)
@@KarlMetalworks Thanks, I'll try that! :) :)
That was so cool to watch the tube fold on both axis like that.
I haven't hammered a nail in the lasts 10 year, but I can say that @Torbjörn Åhman is an isnpiration to me to change this. And it's going to be soon!!!
That's the best set of dies I've seen on a press. And I love the full extend and retract protection! Never seen that anywhere else.
Great work!
Definitely one of the most impressive press builds I've seen. be stealing a few of your ideas when I build mine.
Why is it that the only people who say "Sorry about my English" speak better English than me? Also, NICE WORK. :D
I will take that compliment, thanks. I hope you are Harvard English language teacher or something :)
@@KarlMetalworks Nope, just a native speaker.
mostly because when you have to use a language that isnt native to you, you put a whole lot more effort into it, since you know you need to be extra clear.
They have that book English
Sir very nice and usefull mechine good if it is possible please send the diagram illustrating with measurements (size) my mai I'd is. Prb8848@gmail.com . I will try it for my work thankyou
That is a cool press 👍 I'm currently designing one myself and really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us.
Easily one of the coolest hydraulic presses I've ever seen. I appreciate the attention to detail and the engineering. You overcame some challenges in an interesting and creative way. Best wishes in all your endeavors!
Karl, do NOT apologize for your english. It's easier to understand than some Americans and some Brits and they were born to it. If your up rites, channel iron, were turned in instead of out, could you have used it to guide the ram? Maybe not, no way to get it out for service should you need to in the future. It's a thought. Great job. I'll keep in mind the multiple rams for mine. Happy squishing and squashing.
I just don't understand why people would give a video like this a thumbs down.
The man did a beautiful job of building this thing and explaining it, and showing it and yet there's people out there that just can't seem to appreciate any of it.
My theory is they either have no idea how to do this. They don't know what it is that they're looking at, or they have failed miserably at trying to do this! Great job!
“I love the smell of hydraulic fluid in the morning. Smells like pressure”
This is a brilliant built. I like the changeable parts especially. You rock man!
Great work. I'm hoping to build one one-day so people like you who share information are awesome. Thank you.
Nicely done! Im planning to start my press soon, and will be using some of your designs. Thank you for sharing it!
The "L" shaped stuff is called "angle iron". Thanks for sharing.
Hey bro your English is fine....I understood everything you said. You explained everything very well, and your design skills are dope!!! One of the nicest homebuilt presses I've ever seen. I definitely am going to use some of the features you designed into your press when I eventually have all the material collected to build mine :) Thanks for the vids...hopefully we will see many more from you in the future!
This is amazing! Tons of great ideas i can easily follow thx for posting!
That is a brilliant design, well done!
Well made machine! Thank you for sharing. Your English is great. Slight accent but from what I remember not a single mistake. Greetings from Boston USA.
This is really cool! Very impressive for the homemade machine! Nicely done!
That is a great press. No need to apologise about your English young man. Top respect to you!
Excellent! Nicely done! Very well thought out! Well done! Very nice forging press! Your English is excellent! I had no problem understanding you at all!
Great video Karl, thanks a lot. It's gonna help and inspire my own build. Thanx!
Fantastic! Very well thought out and executed. It was a real pleasure to have you show your very functional design. I gained some good information from this. Thanks for being generous in sharing your knowledge.
Thank you. Comments like yours are the reason to share the knowledge. Le me know, how your press turns out.
Amazing build! Congrats!
Very very clear. Thank you. Wishing you all the best.
Well done! That is a great press.
Excellent build and Video. I like the points you made and will try to use them when i build my own press. Your English is most excellent sir :)
Best build on UA-cam!!!
Wow! What a fantastic press, excellent design and implementation. I subscribed based on just this one video.
Press is beautiful, English is good, No sweat!!
SUPER WELL DONE!... This is super helpful and inspiring.
Superb stuff, you've put a lot of thought into that.
Great Design! Beautiful Execution and Fabrication!! Very well thought out!! Best, more thorough build - covering all bases I have seen!! liked !! Subbed !!
Impressive build and equipment! Im on the verge of building one myself. I will def use yours a lot as reference. Thanks for sharing.. :)
Amazing Karl. Thank you for sharing. Your English is excellent.
You did a fantastic job! Me and a friend are hoping to build one soon.
Thanks for sharing. Great design and your english is great. Very handy machine.
Awesome build bro.love the press
Your English is great so don't feel pressured. The following is from a Canadian point of view of English, western Canadian to be more precise. Commonly the liquid used for machines like your press is referred to as hydraulic "fluid" so you had it right from where I'm listening. Oil is reserved for usage where lubricating or bearing load support is it's primary purpose. Brake liquid wet stuff gets the "fluid" designation too. English is full of rules to be broken and you'll constantly come across inconsistencies at an inconsistent rate. Nice press too.
Your version of the Apocalypse Now quote is great
Nice build, and so well thought out and presented.
Thanks, I'm trying my best.
Outstanding design and performance. I award you A+!
First two cylinder I have seen.... really impressive
Beautiful! Well done.
i love your design it's so quiet well made and versital , nice shop by the way. but GREAT JOB!!!!!
You speak English better then most of my neighbors and they where born in the USA lol
Oh and excellent job sir
Nice design! Excellent press!
The guy that disliked this probably can't make an ice cube.
We should raise a campaign to find out that guy before he suicide!
I actually disliked and I'm a part time blacksmith so I think I can make an ice cube
RANDOM RICH being a blacksmith you could burn an ice cube at best.
Wow Sir, you've made a brillant job here, I'm astonished with its power!!!
fantastic mate, well explained and your english is fine, you should be proud of yourself.
Very Awesome Build... & Your English is really good! Thanks for sharing this video. I'm subscribing.
Building one right now and going to steal some of your solutions regarding the dies. Mine is inverted though and only 1700mm high. Thanks for sharing.
Nice build, if I may suggest, I would make it so you can have it run automatic also. Have top and bottom travel limits set as you are planning to build them and it cycles from down and up over and over again. You will use it a lot for long pieces of steel to bring them down to size.
Put a tape measure on the column too with a marker on the cross beam, that way you have a quick reference for setting the bottom limit.
Well done! Love to build one myself.
Well done mate . Well done
Very good video! Very nice press. It’s very similar to the press I built for my blacksmith shop.
wow awsome build i am really impressed
very inovative design ,great !
Well thought out 👍
Very nice build!
Thks lot for the detail. I plan to build one but with one piston.
Don't apologize for your English! You speak more clearly than some Americans. As someone who has only picked up scraps of other languages, I am totally impressed by your command of English. I've watched two of your videos and not had a moment when I had any difficultly understanding everything you said. Plus, your designs are brilliant!
Thank you. I hope I will get more fluent speaking, in the future. At this point, its like three takes to say one sentence. I got hours of footage where I stop in the middle of the sentence :)
@@KarlMetalworks May I ask where you are located?

Nice job. I want one myself
Bravo my friend!! Nice job!!
Wow, you are very smart in building it.
Your English is perfect... You did a fabulous job 👍🏻😎
I have watched many videos on home built presses but yours is by far the best thought out and built of the lot. Well done. You should be very proud. If you make these plans available for saIe I will be the first one to purchase them.
Thanks. There are no plans, just a bunch of leftover material welded together.
Those physical interlocks are really cool.
Weakness to overkill. Love your style dude.
Great press build, quick change die holders,
large control lever with with foot control, tool stops up and down ,
lots of great ideas , nice fabrication work. Your bench vise? , looks modified to open wider. Thanks for sharing the press build , keep up the good work.
Thank you. I believe that having strong press is just a half of the story. It is all the details and features that makes it good machine to work with. The bench vise is just stock, I think. Unfortunately there are no markings on it, so I cant compare it to the others of this type.
Well done!
Amazing machine and your English is better then mine. I have broken American English. Proper English is over in Britian. Keep up the great work
Very good job my friend, thanks for sharing!
that is one gorgeous machine, i am planning to make one for myself but it wont be for in the near future.
Wow beautiful!
Very smart ideas,nice machine
Nice work, Thank you
Very good press, thanks for sharing! I’m curious about motor and pump, can you tell me how many hp and what’s the pumps flow?
Your English is very good, but I really envy your press! Wow!
U r good men, contiune ur work.
That’s awesome man, and don’t apologize for your English, you have better English then some of us Oklahoma folks lol.
Have you thought about wiring in limit switches? They are easy to install. Kinda like on my milling machine. I can kick my auto feed in and when it hits the limit switch it’ll kill the power to that direction but will allow you to auto feed in the other direction.
Nice work. Love the design
Thanks. Electronic limit switches is probably much better way to go. But I am absolute rubbish when it comes to electronic and viring. I made mechanical ones, in other video. And it just does the job just fine for what I do.
Your design is by far one of the best designs that I have seen on UA-cam I’ve looked at single piston presses and dual piston presses and yours it is the most non-complex design that I’ve come across this is truly a great press and I’ve watched your video probably about 10 maybe 15 times and I’m probably gonna keep watching it do you have plans that you can sell or maybe send to an email how much are you asking for the plans.
Thank you, There are no plan at all, i just welded stuff i had and designed it all on the go.
Wow... very nice
sick! i love it!
Hi Karl ! Super press! And a super video! Are you open to doing some consulting if I take on building a press close to yours? It will be my second press to build, but first with a hydraulic pump. And heck... no need to apologize for your English. It's super! I wish my Russian was that good! ))) Every year it gets a bit better!
Great build... how do you know the travel distance without breaking the punch and dies
Awesome!
Fantastic.
Muito bom , muito bom mesmo ! 🖒
Love the final comment.
Гарний прес. Все продумано і зроблено гарно.
Do you have plans or blueprints a available anywhere. This is by far the best build I've seen and I'd like to start researching the nessasary skills to make withing the next year
Thanks. I didn't use any plans. Its all about a piston and pump you can get at then you go from there. You should also check local scrapyards to see if they have some nice beams for sale.
Great press! Your English is great man! No worries. :) I wish I could speak a second language.
8:40. That’s one way to make kindling haha
Very cool bro about how much did it cost in
materials ?
You can buy an automatic return chest valve. They sell them for log splitters. Push the handle up and the ram fully returns when it senses some pressure it stops. Google it
Nice!!!!
Sweet machine m8ey
