I like this design, simple is always better. I have a couple of suggestions for you. Instead of a clamp to hold the press shut, what about making a key to twist and hold the device together. Just drop it in, turn it to lock. Once pressed, turn the key back, pull it out and viola. press opens up. The second suggestion is to weld a hinge on the lever and the cross bar. That would hold the lever in place, preventing slippage. Let me know what you think. Jeff
Have you ever tried making a hand-cranked press? I was thinking in terms of a gear-reduction to a cam. If you used a chambered nautilus shape for the cam. you could just continue forward to reset. After the maximum was reached, it would drop back to the beginning with no reversing required.
That style press looks like a foot pedal would be good to use also. Very nice idea. It could also use return springs so nobody gets a pinched finger trying to make the pistons go back down.
+GPerrozzz most important are chambers and pistons,chambers are 8x12 cm and 1o cm high,pistons are little smaller around 7,5 cm x 11,5 cm but hight is bigger so that you can press briquettes out of chambers,the rest you can make as you wish
It is nothing complicated,you need 10x10cm metal tube,cut on lenght of 10 cm,weld together,then you need 4 pistons that fit into that 4 pieces,put some cover on top,put car jack under the pistons and start to press,the easyest way to make briquettes is my coulking gun briquette press,just buy one and start making small briquettes,i will also make one press from wood,greeting

Don't have anything,every project i made i made it without drawing,messure,straight from head,i imagine how it has to be and start making,by this press i remember what i learn in school,to move big object or to make pressure you just need big lever,the same is by this press,4 10x10 cm chambers welded together with 4 pistons,it cant be more simple,greeting
@@Mladen365 thank you so much Live in Canada Saskatoon SK very cold here in winter so like your idea going to Build this soon show ya Mine thks again for your Help On these Builds I Say Awesome in what Your Doing Keep it up I will follow you through All What Ya Do thks Again Farmer
+PANAGIOTIS MASTOROS that lever make preasure same as car jack,belive me,it will not be better if you use car jack the result will be the same,try make one and than mail to me,greetings to you.
I like the design and the speed, but the pressure is not as much as a car jack, not a 2-ton one, anyway. Your lever, I guess, is about 60 inches (5 foot) long. If the distance between your load and the fulcrum is 6 inches and the distance between the fulcrum and your force is 54 inches, then your force can be multiplied by 54/6, or 9. To match the force of a 2-ton car jack you would have to exert 4000/9, or 444 pounds, on the end of the lever. You could reduce that to 222 pounds if you used a lever twice as long. If your car jack can only lift a ton (or 2000 pounds), and you weighed 222 pounds, and you put all your weight on the end of that lever, the force would be the same as the 1-ton jack.I would use the lever to close most of the distance and extract the briquettes, but I would use a car jack after the lever force is exhausted, to compress the briquettes just a little more, for a better product that is more compact and takes less time to dry. I saw one example of that on UA-cam, just one. Not a lot of pumping if you use the jack for just the last part. If your priority is saving time, of course, your demonstration shows that this design works just fine. If you are seriously needing to crank out briquettes and it's not just a hobby (like it is for me), you would probably go for the lever alone, I know I would.Thanks for all your efforts, I can tell you love to design and build stuff, my favorite is the set you made for your niece, that was sweet.
this is the best and fastest...also very simple.....the longer the lever,the more pressure...good man......greetings from Ireland
+seanie3470 press is very easy to operate,like you say the longer the lever is more preasure is to press briquettes,greetings to you from Croatia
odlicno kao i uvek
imam napravljenu slicnu masinu samo sto guram sa gornje strane
ovo je definitivno bolje
Hvala puno na ideji
+gonzozr i ja sam prije koristio pritiskanje s gornje strane ali ovo je definitivno puno lakše a i brže je.

Thnx
Thanks Mr. Mladen for sharing to us your inventions and/or ideas.....
Will always shar my ideas with other people in world greetings

I like it the way i made it but everything you say can be done,greetings
A simple lever defeats technology. This is a super press and will be the one I make. Now, what to do with an 8 ton car jack? LOL
Best Wishes, Brendan.
+baconsoda use that car jack for something else,greetings.
I think all you designs are great, Simple and the just work, well done. Greetings from Canada
Greeting from Croatia,i will always make new press,i have lot of scrap metal
Супер!! Молодец!!!
Интересная конструкция!!!
БлагоДарю
Verry nice! Greatings from Bulgaria
+Stoicho Hadgiev Greetings to you,i will making press for briquettes until i made fully automated press.
smart and simple as usually from you! thumbs up
Very nice job! Have you thought about making a solar oven to help dry them faster?
+John Carpenter i dry briquettes above my stove but that is nice idea thnx,maybe ill make one but it has to be big i make lot's of briquettes
A other great press and more easy to build :-) good job my friend
Greetings from Belgium
+rikkiesix thank you,i am glad you like it,my goal is to make fully automated briquette press and that is lot of work
I really like this press.
Very clever design! I want to make one aswell but i am kinda lost in the dimentions of the whole project. Can you enlighten us?
+GPerrozzz most important are chambers and pistons,chambers are 8x12 cm and 1o cm high,pistons are little smaller around 7,5 cm x 11,5 cm but hight is bigger so that you can press briquettes out of chambers,the rest you can make as you wish
You are brilliant thank you very much. Looking forward to see your new projects. Greetings from greece!
Very clever! keep that great mind of yours thinking.
+Rctrail@ction thank you,big greetings from Croatia..
+Mladen “simple is better” 365 Croatia????where is that place?Are you near stuped Turkey? anyway many hallo from Tokyo.
+Yio Kalai hellol from Croatia,i am 2200 km from Turkey,Croatia is near Italy on the other side of adriatic sea
+Mladen “simple is better” 365 thank you for your reply.Turkey are bad people, i like Slavic and Greek people.You are civilaze.
Could you make a video of the whole proccess making something out of it? Just to learn how you manage to make it so accurate.
It is nothing complicated,you need 10x10cm metal tube,cut on lenght of 10 cm,weld together,then you need 4 pistons that fit into that 4 pieces,put some cover on top,put car jack under the pistons and start to press,the easyest way to make briquettes is my coulking gun briquette press,just buy one and start making small briquettes,i will also make one press from wood,greeting

Nici unul dintre aceste elemente nu pot fi utilizate pentru producerea de brichete, salut
Nice machine bravo!
Thank you,it is simple and very easy to work with it
You are not bad friend.
Hi is this something you sell or do you make them for sale if so let me know I like to buy one
I am not sell any of that press,shippment will be to high,but you can easily make one simple press at home
Mladen 365 ok I have not tried to make one before, but if you some plans or pictures I will give it a go thanks
Howdie you have plans for this if possible please send me if you need money 💲 let me know thanks again for your help need this Merry Christmas to you

Do you have any problems with the lever slipping out or off?
+Garrett Tindall i have never problem with lever,when you start to press lever can't slipp out
+Mladen “simple is better” 365 thank you. Great design
HI, but with car jack more power for pressing...

Where do you get all that steel you use?
My friend got a big scrapyard full of metal,i buy from him very cheap
how do I contact you ?
On this mail:lovro.korotaj@vz.t-com.hr ,ask anything you need,greeting
