The ovaled cylinder; obviously I would weld the flanges to cylinder BEFORE assembling the frame, the problem here was that I couldnt get access to weld the flanges all round the cylinder so just welded the sides where I could reach. This shrunk those opposing sides which pulled the cylinder into an oval shape. obviously the solution is to weld the flanges to the cylinder BEFORE assembling the frame, Lesson learned! - Jak na to + styl

You are a proper engineer Eric, I wish I had a supportive teacher that understood my way of thinking instead of lazy arrogant workshy office workers. I never had much luck with hand tools, too much interference in school and mothering at home to get to grips with cutting, grinding, pressing, rolling or extruding.
Buffing, welding and bending is all I think I can do and that is at a push, skilled fab work is a real talent and you have it in spades so thank you for sharing your gift, time and passion. We are lucky to have you in our midst but some of us will have to leave the net because the energy bills are gonna get real high soon.
Its so heartbreaking. May God bless you my tough Northern brother. :--)
Why not sell them or give them away, forcing people to subscribe as a patreon isn’t a great idea, sorry, love the channel but it is annoying the files are hidden away.
@@boomish69 “forcing” 🤣 not like he’s putting you _in_ the press to get you to sign up.
Great link! thank you!
@@boomish69 Could anyone tell me where to find suppliers to buy from such a cylinder?
I really appreciate the fact that you show your mistakes and then repair them - but even more than that, that you go through the process and pitfalls of building this press and then first thing you decide to do is break random stuff with it. My inner 13 year old says "much respect"
I also appreciate that you don't beat yourself up about the mistakes (at least not on camera). We all make mistakes, but few of us are willing to admit it publicly.
Love the thumbnail. Hoodrolic press channel is a favorite of mine
Great press. Brave man welding and grinding in a wood shop!
The tight spot on the cylinder bore was caused by shrinkage from welding. You needed to order a cylinder wit a front flange for mounting and avoid welding the cylinder. Every time the piston goes past that tight spot it will damage your seals.
All that marvellous engineering and I am sat here shocked at how well you transferred that paint to the smaller tin. 😂
Is there ANYTHING that you cannot do? I thought that I was reasonably multi skilled, but I am not even in the same universe as you. Really enjoy watching your various projects and learning as I do.
Thank you.
The way you tell a story visually is the best I've seen, on what could be considered, by some, pretty dry content. I'm completley hooked and look forward to the next project. How did you get so good? a true craftsman for me it's a joy to watch.
0:34 “both projects need laser cut steel…” Am I the only person who expected the next frame to read, “So I built a laser.” ??
welcome to't'hydraulic press channel
Love the Way you designed that Press.
Well done.
My suggestion would be a replaceable shoe(s) to protect the end of the ram (and of course form tools)
Patience please.
I commend you for showing the mistakes. It makes the video a valuable tool for learning. For dimension critical parts I recommend either doing the final machining after welding (which probably wasn't feasible for this particular project), or designing a mechanical method for fixing the hydraulic cylinder to the press structure.
That aside, the project result was very nice. This press will render many years of useful service.
Thanks for sharing your work.
It's so nice to see a genuine artisan with such a wide range of skills. I've had so many career changes I don' know what I know anymore. Your "shift on the fly" uncompromising QC and light-hearted attitude is a refreshing change from the typical. Always enjoy spending the time. Thanks Russ.
It would be so interesting to know your career history, one thing is absolutely certain your woodwork teacher must have been an inspiration, he must now look back with great pride at the master craftsman that he put on the right road....
The tack-welding process used when welding the second cylinder was the right way to go. You might have done it and not shown it, but a refinement there is to use your air compressor to cool down the part as you go. To absolutely avoid warping then follow the rule, "If it's too hot to touch, then it's too hot".
Cool. Yorkshires version of the Hydraulic Press Channel. Looking forward to much more pressed to destruction content ! 👍
i didnt know hydraulic presses actually had practical uses. thats amazing!
Clicked like before I'd even watched it. You never disappoint!
You are very clever. There are so many times I would have panicked, not being as laconic as you, a laid back Yorkshireman. Brilliant job. 🌞
I hope you make the CNC router video, looking forward to it.
me too! its been a few years in the designing/acquiring parts stages and ill be starting it in a couple of weeks!
Cripes - that's a LOT of travel for a press. Nice. I'd be wary of smashing stuff with it though - it doesn't look made for off-axis loads.
Interesting that you made your own - a very clever guy/CZcamsr in New Zealand (Marty T, recommended) wanted a hydraulic press, looked into making one, and found that he could buy a Chinese press cheaper than he could buy materials to make one!
you can tell you're a fellow Yorkshire lad - it's the lack of 'bondo'! Nice job... can't help feeling there's an easier way to get dowel joints to fit though...
That's one hefty piece of equipment. I admire your patience and ingenuity in assembling it. I am always impressed with the power of hydraulic pressure, for instance with construction machinery.
Ha, that is me @8:35 a grinder and paint makes you the welder you ain't! Good on ya man, that's way better than I can.
Well, that one fought you all the way. But you beat it into submission. Some projects are like that - sometimes it just doesn't pay to get out of bed.
Impressive, your skill set makes me envious.
Workshop motto at school - "Cut it large and kick it into place."
Your calm in the face of that cylinder detour was very impressive! Cool press.
You are a modern day Da Vinci...just love watching you create one masterpiece after another. Look forward to seeing you CNC project. I was just in London for a visit. Someday maybe I can make it to Yorkshire...
This is the coolest thing ever. I have absolutely no need for one, but I abosolutely want one!
So much talent. Yet more cool stuff...
You’re a very clever chap, didn’t realise your skill set was so large, guess we’ll soon be seeing you in space, lol. Thanks for sharing what you do! 👏😀👍
No idea how to do any of this stuff but, so interesting to watch.
Love watching your videos, thanks so much for sharing 👍
Oh boy, more welding in the woodshop. I can hear the safety police arriving already. 😄
Very enjoyable as always. I often watch your techie videos the first time whilst scratching my head and then watch again and appreciate. The inner me wants to be ask skilled as this.
superb design for the press, expensive but nice
Another set of pins might help in the long term to keep the load down on the adjustment holes (to stop them from becoming ovals over time)
Rapidly becoming my favourite Yorkshireman! I don't know any others but yeah, definitely!
Man Iove watching your videos. They are like meditation. Each time I watch I get new ideas and I feel like I am getting a little smarter. The feeling is short lived though when I try to replicate anything you do.
Was wondering how that weld was going to treat you on that first cylinder. You might have gotten away with it had you left the piston at the other end of the bore then welded... but then again it very well could have seized on the first full stroke. I hone every single cylinder after welding. Just no way around it. For a setup like this I cut threads on the bottom, then thread a collar on. The collar can be welded or bolted to the frame. But that requires access to a machine shop. Careful about lateral loads on the rod on those long extensions. They are easier to bend than you might think. Minor bend wears out the seal faster.
hey bud Tony from Edmonton Alberta Canada here...just remember the slogan "a grinder and paint makes me the welder I aint!"
clever project - look forward to the Router assembly bench thingy ma jig
Is mastery of wood not enough for this man! Awesome stuff to watch and I am in awe of your talent.
New Yorkshire x Fireball tool. Great project!
I love how talented you are. Always amazes me. Your humour is so subtle and funny. These vids are a delight.🤩
Great video again but welding in a wood work shop that shouts out major fire risks to me I couldn't sleep at night knowing that one of them little sparks ended up on a dry wood pile
A practical set of shoe's for the ram end to avoid any slips whilst pressing is whats needed now just to finish it off, gret job warts n all.
In the past I have filled cylinders with water before welding, it keeps them cool.
Very nice build and all from scratch too. A handy thing to have when it comes to lots of jobs that plain and simple tools just aren't man enough to achieve. Great video russ 👍🏻👍🏻
Nice design and build
Lock bolts between the adjustment halves can be snugged up under pressure to remove any pin clearance wiggle.
New Briquette Press if I've ever seen 1 lol, great build
cool ! a man that can build anything genius.
Love your unflappable "just fix it" northern demeanour when things go wrong .
A rare thing .
Add 1 sub from dahn sarf
My god mate you are brilliant... just love the humor and the editing of the videos but you didn't make your wife cry this time did you? jajajajaja always a great project!!
Man, you’re either a great actor or simply a genius. How did you learn all your crafts? You must have some sort of engineering experience, too.
this is why you fill the barrel full of oil before welding on it, i make cylinders all the time. also when fixing a crack in the weld were it leaked, youcant just grind it out an weld it even if it looks like a pin hole, you have to drill a small hole on each end clean it out really good with brake clean from inside out, if you dont drill it will keep cracking farther and the oil if not cleaned never welds good and do not repair with mig welder use stick welding with 7018 3/32
While broaching the keyway it made me think what if the keyway cutter snaps, it might end up sticking out of a part of your body! A safety screen might be useful. Bye the way amazing work and getting it to fit together first time
thats why I keep backing it off and re-starting. keeps it sitting straight becasuye if it goes off at an angle it can bend/ break the brittle hss cutter.
Love it. Got a hundred inane questions but first and foremost .. just how the heck do you know all of this stuff????
I’ve never seen a CNC where the motors are directly mounted to a rack and pinion set-up. Very interested to see how this work out. Good luck with it.
Great idea and great build. I was going to mention the dangers of snapping keyway cutters but I see someone else has already commented about it.
Very much looking forward to seeing the CNC build.
Would it have been an idea to fill the cylinder with water to help keep it cool and distorting?
Is there anything you CAN'T do? Man, you ARE brilliant!
Oh and, I can't wait to see your CNC build! Are we to expect a video of that, any time soon?
He can`t build a hydraulic press .
Finally a worthy Hydraulic Press Channel opponent :) Nice work.
As always great humor, nice build, you're an inspiring character !
Total french newbie in hydraulics here : would it be possible to add a two way valve/by pass to easily switch from a high speed flow directly to a lower speed flow, both adjustable, of course.
Could be convenient to speed up the course of the ram to fill the first gap then switch to a lower speed when you get close to the object, without having to turn a knob all the way ?
Cheers and thanks for your videos !
Filler and paint makes us the welders we ain't!
Well done matey!! Glad you put link and showed process for ordering laser cut parts - I might be using them! But really - all that just so you could broach some keyways!?! lol
and squash things for entertainment value :)
Amazing skills. Force the admiration indeed.
Can't wait for the CNC router build!
Another easy mod would be to put some pins in the bottom plates to stop them sliding out front to back but move side to side
The Waterjet Channel is becoming the Ordinary Sausage Channel. The Hydraulic Press Channel is doing ASMR... and now you are doing Hydraulic Press videos! I don't know who anybody is any more..! :)
its a confusing world!
Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing.
A lot of work! Great project Happy Pressing!
Nice design and quite unique. I've never seen one like that. Weld distortion is a bummer. Been there done that!

Как приятно смотреть на вашу работу, удивлюсь вашему терпению, успехов вашей нелёгкой работе
Love your work 👍
Great stuff as always. Thanks for sharing.
Комментарий в поддержку канала и ролика, а также труда мастера.
...for a couple days I thought I was seeing a recommendation for a video from the hoodrolic press channel, until I read the thumbnail proclaiming that it *wasn't* a video from the hoodrolic press channel.
Way to go, another cool project.
Nice fab work, a momentary foot switch would be handy.
great build
Wow, sometimes you have mishaps like a real human would...Shocking!
fantastic job !!!! great video, thanks
Next project, aluminium casting?
fantastic upload as always
ta
Мощно! Лайк за труды!
Pretty design. I'm liking the nice change from the usual C channel and angle iron construction most people follow......... Your own concept, or is the design inspired by someone else's project ?
use a air line to take the heat of the metal after you weld it stops the metal from deforming
Up until this episode I've imagined your subtitles in the voice of Sean Bean; the hydraulic press is now making me hear a Finnish accent...
sean bean? hes a bloody southerner! get your head voice from Kes! 😘
@@NewYorkshireWorkshop Crikey I thought the lad from Kes also had a South Yorkshire accent (Barnsley? Dodworth?). So much for my chances as a linguist. Keep up the great work at your workshop... Thoroughly enjoyable viewing -- particularly for an aging/aged engineer such as myself.
You need to make a consumable cap for the end of the shaft.
Ordered online, but has the New Yorkshire Workshop Charm!
Really impressive job mate! I watched the video two times! I'm already waiting for the next video. Fractory seems like a great way to get custom parts for DIY projects. How do you find the quality of the parts?
What do you need a hydraulic press for in what is primarily a woodworking shop? Can't think of a use case for an anvil type of configuration. A horizontal wood bending table would make more sense, or perhaps a glue-up press. But neither of those functions fits into this form factor. Curious about the purpose you envision for this.
Crushed it mate
Very nice!
Learning by doing ☝....ve a nice day and stay healthy 😊
Try turning your wire feed up a tad mate,
fantastic work. Love your posts
Interested in those fan ducts in your spray booth
Awesome
