5 ton log splitter to forging press

[@dadeblue4645]

great video but man very time you raised your welding hood I was looking for a bird lol.

I've got one of these in the garage. Got set to the side because of home improvements. But I picked up some 1/2" round stock to weld along the existing rails. They flex a lot. I want to stop that so the plates stay parallel to each other.

Nice one! I did a video a little while back on how to squeeze a little more power out of this kind of press. They're a good unit when built right!

thanks Im very happy with how it works thanks for watching

[@scottg6428]

Looks good , I did the same thing with the same brand of log splitter , but i made it to where is can still function as intended

[@scottsbarn9432]

thanks i also think it turned out well thanks for watching

[@mikeedelman3377]

Could this be made in a vertical configuration?

[@scottsbarn9432]

not sure i would think it could be possible

I'm currently building one exactly like yours well at least the log splitter is the same lol

[@scottsbarn9432]

thanks for watching Im happy with how mine works good luck

[@chewyakarieckenicholas6049]

I have a short posted that shows how far I've got

Awesome work. I know this is probably a bit out of left field, but would you be willing to build another one of those and sell it to me, and if so, for how much? I'm in Southwestern Virginia and would be willing to come pick it up... I'd build it myself, but I don't have a welder anymore and would probably sink more cost into setting up to do the mod than you'd charge for it. If you want, I'll buy all the materials up front, so that you don't have to worry about getting stiffed or covering costs for the project. I don't know what else to add to convey necessary info, but I'm a veteran (Army) and I want to make Damascus, but my body can't take the abuse of doing it all by hand, plus doing it all by hand wastes too much material, and power hammers and presses WAY are out of my budget. Or if you want to upgrade yourself to something else, I'd buy that one... or if you know of anyone with a tire hammer or anything for sale, I'd be interested in that... basically anything that reduces the impact and standing for me, lol. I look forward to hearing from you... reply here and I'll give you all my contact info if you want to do it. Thank you for your time and the great content.

sorry i would love to help but cant would be a liability issue

[@BryanHamann]

Is 5 tons enough?

[@scottsbarn9432]

for what i do 5 tons is plenty if you was doing a monster billet it may be pushing your luck

[@BryanHamann]

Would like to see it squish some hot steel

[@scottsbarn9432]

if you watch video 2 you can see that and i made video making pattern welded steel for knife

[@redlinebo]
