- Route Port A of Valve to Top Port on Cylinder, and Port B of Valve to Bottom Port on Cylinder in order to have the ram engage when toe on foot pedal is pressed down. The handle will engage the ram when pressed toward ceiling, and will retract the ram when handle is pulled down.

Thanks again for hanging out with me during this build. I really appreciate everyone who has taken the time to show some interest.
Can’t thank you enough for making this forge press video. I followed your videos. Tweaked a few things that work better for me. I am a weekend warrior metal worker at best. Having this press has been a life saver. Thanks again from Oregon!
WHAT! I get to have the first comment on part III First of all let me commend you sir on your fine work, narration, and the appearance and function of your forging press. Bravo and well done. 👏 Love how you shared your trials and errors along the way and the way you overcame them. After part 3 watched the making of your other dyes and of course liked and definitely subscribed. Thank you for sharing your builds withe the KZhead's and take care, keep all your fingers, toes, eyes, ears, and hair. Stay awesome 👌
I really appreciate you! That means a lot to me, so Thank you!
Awesome man, going to try to model mine after yours! What milk are you using?
I have been thinking of building Denis Tyrells' press myself so so glad I found your build, gave me some ideas. Good job!
Subscribed. Just getting ready to build my press too. Love your build!
Great video ! Thank you!
What was your total cost?
If you price out everything in his outline you are looking at 1453.32 ish and that isn't including the cost of the steel that you need. Depending on how you source your steel you are looking at 1650 low-end if you can get some scrap for cheap and about 2k if you can't.
