24 Ton Hydraulic Forging Press walkthrough

A walk through of my hydraulic forge press. I used Dr. James Bastons book, "Build Your Own Hydraulic Forging Press" for the design and engineering to build it. If you have fabrication skills like welding and metal work, you can surely build your own for a fraction of the cost to buy one. #forgepress #hydrualicforgepress
