jason0012 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I have a good start on collecting parts for a Batson press, but the big build projects for this year are all either finished or pushed back to January. The idea hit me recently, after moving my bearing press out of my work area. I am looking at putting a frame together for a 12 ton jack. If I cant make it work for forging perhaps I can build shear dies for it and use it to cut stock... I got side tracked today cutting material for such a press Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Looks good, time to start welding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason0012 Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 Welding is for tomorrow. I ran the saw for 10+ hours today. I figure if the jack is garbage, this can be adapted to a 2-3"×8 cylinder and run off electric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason0012 Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share Posted January 1, 2021 Picked up the jack today. I got sidetracked on assembly but it needs to come together tomorrow as real work is looming. I dont expect much from it, but do hope it will be up to punching holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eseemann Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 My wife is a quilter and she said your dry layout is just like when you layout the quilt block so you don't sew it backward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
