I like your idea! I could see that working on any floor, just have the flange below the floor.

Have to agree with that. AND maybe the people you live with. It's always good to hear out other's ideas whether they are used or not, you never know, they might work for you.

How long should punches be?
I like the 7 to 8 inch range for hand-held which is all I use. Spose it could depend on how thick the hand is that's holding it. When I hold a punch my hand takes up around 5 " of it. Can get warm on the first couple of hits till I get it going where I want it.

Straw Chopper Blades
We changed them out last fall and they were JD like your picture shows. Don't remember the part number. I did heat one up and hammer on it. Seemed to work nice. Bout all I can tell you. Never got back to it to see about hardening and tempering. Need to pursue it more, they're still in the scrap barrel. Ya got me curious again tho I'm sorry I should have said they were chopper blades so you know what I'm talking about.

What advice would you give to you?
I should have taken it up the 1st time I wanted to, instead of the 2nd time when I did. Don't let anyone tell you, you can't or shouldn't do something. I was told I couldn't build a house, I've been living in it for 24 years!

Tractor run press?
I came up with 36 ton but whatever, I have not had to figure on something like that for a while. The lines to my press are no longer than say attaching an implement like a planter or a disc. So does not effect my reservoir. That's why I plumbed the lines thru the wall, it was the shortest distance. You might have to add to yor tank first time but then the oil will be in the lines next time. I don't know how long yor lines will be. All I know is it works for me.
