Beautiful work. I have been watching mostly US builds where they put 3phase 5hp 300kg monsters together but then you squish a piece of metal as good as if not better then those. Inspiring..
Thank you! I didn't have the option to throw more power at the problem, so I made a sturdy frame. This way, most of the force goes into squishing hot metal rather than stretching the frame. The results speak for themselves!
@@winterbrookforge the frame idea is something worth exploring but I imagine if metal prices are anything like they are in Australia that was probably the most expensive piece!
Wow that's beautiful. Hopefully you get great use out of it for many years to come my friend. Can't wait to see more updates an projects and many more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep forge lit. Keep Making. God bless.
great job! I am building a press myself and I was wondering if it would work to use I beams for the frame and weld them to a lower like you have on there.
Thanks! Yes it's certainly possible to do it that way. There are pros and cons to each method but using I beam would probably be cheaper and doesn't require a big machine shop. Lots of info online and check out the book from James L. Batson as he uses I beam design in his book.
Very nicely made, I assume you had access to EDM and such, because otherwise something like this would be unaffordable. Can you indicate what the output of the pump is and what pressure and motor power?
Thanks! Yes I did have access to the EDM, although I repaid the favor by forging something for them in return. The pump is 3000psi 2 stage and a 2HP motor
Ah thank you! Yes John gave me advice along the way and has seen the finished press. As you can see, there are many similarities. You guys came up with a great idea!
I did consider making it wider. When I was designing it, I didn't know i'd have access to that EDM machine. The mill I had access to was the limiting factor. Also a wider press would have been more expensive. It does what I built it for and will fit most hatchets and western axes, probably not a bearded axe but I'm okay with that 😃
Thank you! Cost/ benefit comes down to individual circumstances. I'm limited by my electric supply so 12t is the sweet spot of power and speed. The sturdy frame makes it squeeze more like a 16t and it does everything I need it to do. I had free access to EDM. Overall it cost me just over £2K which is much less than buying the equivalent in the UK. For me it has been worth every penny!
this is a serious piece of art
Few people can even imagine creating complex industrial equipment on their own, this man did a great job
Thank you! I really appreciate the compliment
Super clean and strong ,best build out to date
Smokes the top builders in my opinion and hell I build some myself
That's a beautiful job, a great deal of work and attention to detail has resulted in an amazing tool. Well done.
Thank you!
Amazing press ! I would love to get my hands on thows prints so I can make my own !
Beautiful!
Thank you!

That is absolutely beautiful!!! Great Job!
Thank you!
very well done! thanks for sharing your expertise and build with us!

Done, thanks! Please send a link
Que bomba você usou nesse motor de 2HP e qual medida do cylinder? Parabéns
Nice build.. excellent craftsmanship!
Thank you!

What was the cost overall
I used to build up the Massey 12 ton presses & you have done a cracking job. Have you shown John?
Ah thank you! Yes John gave me advice along the way and has seen the finished press. As you can see, there are many similarities. You guys came up with a great idea!
Não tenho ném palavras
Ficou muito top
Bela construção
Belo projeto
Gostei muito
Parabéns
Thank you for your kind words!
Nice job!
Best one yet on YT
Nice Boxford mill 👍🏻
It's a proper machine that 💪
Absolute chad upload
Umm you dont hapoen to sell these plans, do you?
No sorry
Think bigger.
how many tons?
12
Good machine
Its a bit narrow. Not sure if an axe head would fit in there or not. I would have made the frame way wider, like double what you did.

Outstanding craftsmanship, excellent.
Nice work. But too expensive solution for only 12t.

Zór. Bravo.😊👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇿
EDM? Holy stupid overkill
When a friend offers to do it for free, you don't turn them down because it's overkill...
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Nice press, but you need to work on your welding skills.
Google the man in the arena quote my guy
@@charliesabre4328correct
Ignoring the machining skills and time and effort that they put in to this project just so you could make a snide comment is childish.
