- The purpose of a press frame is to press on or off bearings, bushings etc. You can also make fixtures for bending steel of any sort. It's quite a handy tool. #shoppress #press #hydraulicpress #hydraulic #pressframe #hydraulicjack #DIY #homemade #DonnDIY #eestiyoutuber

Very well done video! No dialog, just to the point and well produced. Thank you!
This got me thinking about all the various pieces of "junk" I have laying around. I think I can use a lot of it for a press...
that looks like a very functional design! I like it. Your way of making videos is great as you go into it pretty much right away. Also it is very easy to follow along and you show clearly what you do and for what so it is easy to follow along and make myself one too. Keep making them great vids man!
+Oxenan17 I'm glad you like it and hopefully build one for yourself. ;) I occasionally need it and it's really frustrating using that little press frame.
clearly the best homemade press on CZcams!
It was a joy watching you lay some really nice welds.
Great job!
Thanks, man!
@@DonnDIY ext with your camera
Greetings, respected... Per minute {10:42}.... What are the specifications of the stand drill that you use to drill holes in metal?! How much is written on it, the highest size that can be punched?!... Because I want to buy something like it.. Please do not neglect this message of mine, I am waiting for you
Four years later and I will give you a double-hands up. Great work with the camera, nd you showed only what we needed to see keeping it succinct. Very cool.
Great job it looks just like the one I built , you might want to put a set of steel casters on it so you can move it around the shop . Tugging and pulling on that can really mess up your back, if your shop was like my shop space was tight and it seems like I was moving it all the time . When you make a press brake for it you'll move it around for more room to bend long pieces.
Great job, shes a beast of a press! thanks for posting
Cheers! Thanks for watching too!
Outstanding job. Excellent pattern and easy to follow your plans. Will build this press very soon. Much thanks for the video.
That is the best home made shop press I have ever seen. Your work is amazing.
Thanks, man! It has become quite handy.
I borrowed my mate's 12 ton press.....3 years ago! and it's still in my shed. Needless to say I have all the steel needed to construct my own press and took delivery of a 30 ton bottlejack a few weeks ago. I'm esung 4" channel for the sides. Must get it built before "lending" the owner his own press.
Your video was very helpfull, great job on your own.👍
TRE, if your mate has any sense, he'll borrow your new one.
Sweet rig and well documented, thank you very much for that.
Methinks something like this will be my first trial in welding.
Cheers! It's worth learning to weld. ;) I can't imagine my life without the press anymore.
Tere! Great, as usual. And inspiring. Thanks for sharing!
+Злой Админ Tervist! Thanks, and thanks for watching. ;)

really excellent work, I especially like the way you setup the jack to push down, without having to modify the jack, Tks for taking the time to make the video, cheers.
The idea of using the jack like that has been around for a long time. It was just my version of a bottle jack shop press, but thanks! I'm glad you liked it. ;)
Nice job! That looks great.
+cubbeezx Thanks!

I finally got a 30 ton bottle jack. I'm going to make one of these presses with my powerarc welder now.
perfect just perfect a video without no talking yes straight working well done .
Excelente trabajo, amigo, me has inspirado mucho!!!!
I’m a relatively recent subscriber (who appreciates a Mr T reference), and it’s interesting to see an older video to see how the production quality has progressed! Not that this is bad, but your new ones are really good!
Awesome project, thanks for sharing!
+Michael Caldwell (pa50cals) Thanks, man! Thanks for taking the time to watch it! ;)
i just finished building one today. used it to press out old ball joints and press new ones in. one of the most useful best things i have ever made.
It sure is! ;)
Very impressive man, nice!
Simplemente maravilloso sr.suerte Animo
Parabéns um verdadeiro profissional...
Great job. Wish I had the talent, tools and knowledge to machine & weld.
Great video. I was inspired by this video to build a similar hydraulic press. Thanks.
Excelente amigo.Muchas gracias por el vídeo ,es muy instructivo y simple. Muchas gracias.-
Beautifull job, could you make a demostration video ??
Tu as de l'or dans les mains !....
Super job !...
Bravo
:)
Stage 6 R/T! Haha, I remember when I used to tune scooters. Great video dude!
Great job! Measures and thickness of the tubular? Thank you
muy buen video , gracias
I wish I had steel like that laying around my place.
Nice build , nice tools and some nice iron to build with, thanks TANK
Good work man.
Thanks!
Nice video !
Thank you.
Nice to see someone actually keeping the guard on the grinder, these things can be lethal!
I've split my thumb several times before. I've learned my lesson and don't want to lose it. That's why the guard is on. Had to learn the hard way. :D
Agree! I've cut myself real good a couple of times, even using a flap disc, let alone a metal cut off blade.
Nice shop!
Excellente work
That press is fantastic idea.
It is also very practical. I built it since I do maintenance on my cars mostly myself - bearing changes etc that require pressing bearings out and in. This press works wonders!
great job bro..thanks for the vid..
great job!
Very nice welding!! Your press looks great!
Thank you very much!
Great project and tool for the shop. I, too, think I need to invest in one.
I like the sheer(get it) enormity of it - but I think I'd like to see a better guide system for it.
Thanks for sharing....
Getting the job done with what you have on hand. Like it, like it a lot.
Thank you. :)
Very nicely done Sir.
Congrats! Thanks!
i just noticed the hinges on the shop doors, clever idea to stop the doors dropping :0)
That sir, is the muts nuts! No doubt!
Thankyou for sharing. 😎
Cheers! Thanks for watching!
I've been thinking about making my own press. I've got the basic plan in my head I just to schedule some time with my powerarc welder and work it out
Interesting project
I love the end ... lol
Me too, actually, It got my attention.
i keep thinking of an open face press.. that has a much smaller foot print.. where the work and cylinder are on overhangs instead of between the verticals. i was thinking of using the 16 ton cylinder from an imported pipe bender.. someday..
nice build by the way..
Thank you
I built my press with an I beam for the top, welded between 2 120mm square 5 mm thick posts about 900mm high, drilled a few holes same as vid, used similar adjustable foot/ base plate as per this vid, most of the work I do is in the top part, so a full floor mount press is not necessary, I use an Enerpac porta power with various sizes of jacks, and I can easily move it around and place it on a bench, one can make it in no time out of scrap steel.
Time to make a press for myself. I think I've got enough spare metal and my everlast welder is never very far away.
perfect build. nice how2
Cheers!
Great stock! Excellent design! Nice work! Thanks for posting.
Nice man. That angle grinder is a precision instrument in your hands!
I sleep next to it :D
That is a nice looking press, well done!
The only little bit of question is, right at the 9:05 mark and onwards for a few seconds,..did you notice that the plate/pad for the jack to sit on, rose up a tad as it was welded ? Would that make the jack sit on a bit of slant, or wouldn't it make any difference under pressure load?
Great press, I'd like to know the size of box section you used?
Thank you for the video. Great work. For me, learning by watching.
No worries! I'm glad you took the time to watch. Thank you!
A little paint would dress up the press nicely. Purpose is awesome and a little lipstick goes a long ways for something like this. Thanks for sharing.
great job man that is rilly cool
Thanks!
perfect!!!!!
Very good idea
Nice job. You'll get lots of good use out of it no doubt.
I always wanted one and it's custom made for my height so I can work with a straight back. I really enjoy it. ;)
Hey whats up Donn , that shop press is well designed man! that's awesome that you have all the metal parts and stock available when an idea pops into your head ! Make more videos building cool stuff we enjoy them thankyou.
+Daniel B. My friend was tearing down part of his workshop which included some steel framing and he was kind enough to give the material for me for labor. :) So I used some of it for the press I've always wanted.
***** Thats cool .. really nice job Donn !
Omg your welding is so awesom
Thank you for appreciating my welding skills. :D
magnificence job.
Welding flash causes viewers to look aside. I noticed an interesting video listed in the side column, so I’ll check it out.
Love the videos some one gave me a press and it's so handy
+Heath Chittick You lucky dawg! :D
awsome build! the only thing you might think about is adding a little handle to the check valve the lets pressure off the jack, that would make it more user friendly
Yup, you're right. Haven't got to that yet. ;)
Very Good !
Great man ！
Thanks man!
que buena prensa brother.
Top Parabéns
Muy bien echo, te felicito.
se la avento devolada verdad,
Awesome video (like Oxenan17 said)!
Cool press. Very good fabrication. I was hoping you'd have a clip of it being used at the end, but the cat fight was better - hahaha!
Thanx for sharin'!
+quaddingsous I have a project material heading my way from eBay and I will use this press for that secret project. ;)
great job
+Francis Barnett Thank you! :)
Awesome skills! Subbed
Cheers man!
Love this channel! So much stuff of what i like, and what i would like to do! DIY at its best. Ure great man!
I was woundering.... i wanna build a small press for when i centerturn rims.... Now i sit and hammer the center out and back in again. but with a press i should be able to line it up straight.... I gotta find some really cheap steel tho.
Thank you for this channel!
Thanks for watching videos on this channel! What about laying rim on a firm flat surface and creating some kind of higher surface which you can use as bump-stop when hammering the center back in so it wouldn't pass certain depth? Just a thought...
:O ... Never crossed my mind :S i will investigate that! Thanks a heap for that! :)
awesome video. Thanks for sharing

شكرا
great job buddy,,, just get it paint!!!
Trabajo bien hecho
Hey don this is mr.b and i wanted to know do you have any build plans for this shop press that i can use to make it??btw good job allways a video from you been thinking about a shop press but the cut fifty plasma torch is next..so far ive got two 1.25 amp welders, a new air compressor, new drill press, grinder with a wire wheel on the other side "typical" but heavy duty, angle grinders ×2, and die grinders im way into making my list smaller and im looking to build a shop press and they "harbor freight" want to dam much for it and besides i can build one for a fraction of what they want for theres..like i said im interested in the plans of your bulid so i can build my own and was wondering if you can add it for me thanks a bunch don and god bless you and your family lord knows the world is going crazy out there be safe and looking forward to hearing from you good job and video, thanks mr.b😎😎😎🤘🙏🤘🙏🤘🙏
Classic job
Looks awesome!
One thing i would've done differently though is to weld thick plates on the "sled" instead of the thin ones.
Could maybe be dangerous with that little amount of in/out movement stability.
I've thought about upgrading it by welding on sturdier pieces. The idea of the sled popping out when pressing things is terrifying. Good thoughts!
I might make this my very first welding project
friend do you work as an electrician where do you get knives from a 10-kilovolt high-voltage disconnector?I'm just an electrician myself and I saw a familiar detail.
First rate craftsmanship!
May I ask: How did you decide on a 30 ton capacity press? Do you have projects that require that high level of force, or did you have a 30 ton hydraulic jack and you used what you had?
Thank you for your well produced, project videos.
Best wishes,

Hi. I just used a "30 ton" hydraulic jack. Since it's Chinese I figure it is actually 15 ton maximum. 🙃
Really nice press.
Do you think it ,or copy ?
What is your method to build something ?
+michaelovitch Cheers. It's loosely based on a common design. Didn't have any dimensions so built it according to my own needs. By method you mean what? Like do I have blueprints first or just build as I go? Usually I think a lot what I'm gonna build, but sometimes I just do it without thinking. :)
+Donn DIY
Thank you for the answer.
Yes,the method used to think and act.
There are peoples writing everything,others just seeing it in their head and doing as it comes.
Very solid construction and neat welds.
Where are you from ?
muito bom amigo parabens , city são jose dos campos SP brasil
Exillent work
She’s a big, beautiful beast, mate. Lovely. I just have one silly little weird-out about the top ends of those springs being loose on the rebar. I think I would have to capture them there to completely relax. Great job.
Their in a slot so they don't slip out. Hasn't happened so far and for your piece of mind I can zip-tie these to the rebar. ;)
Enjoyed the build! Seems like lots of hole drilling :). Is the spacing on the holes in the uprights with in the stroke range of the bottle jack? What is the wall thickness on the verticals?
There wasn't too many holes compared to the ATV tracks project. Yup, the holes are spaced more together than there's travel in the jack. The wall thickness is 5 mm if I remember correctly. With this bottle jack (30 T written on it which may not be true) it has held together nicely, no bends no nothing. Rigid as.
Good job.
Are you using 4 inches square hollow tubing for the vertical posts?
Nice job. Test?
