SHOP BUILD - 20 tons hydraulic Press

Thank you guys very much for enjoying the video. I'd like to reply to comments but my eye is getting worse at the time. Just want to let you know that i do read every single one and very appreciate your generosity. For any information or question pls feel free to talk to me through email or instagram for much faster response. All the best, CàLem.

[@AggelosT]

I wish to be well soon

[@Accolade.]

You deserve to let us followed.

[@iamtheomega]

I can't imagine a shop without a press: this is a work of art, so much better than the china version we get in USA. The feet, the crank, the rail movable mount for ram and plate, the build quality/frame, even the paint, every aspect is an upgrade from mine..

[@agentcovert]

Best wishes..I hope one one day you come to the USA or some other place to visit the eye doctor..before its too late..

[@GRIZZ357]

Your the man brother with mad skills I hope your eye gets better take care of yourself. The world still needs you!

[@bdkj3e]

Get notification. Stop working. Find a quite place. Hit like button. Comment for the algorithm. Play video. Quietly wish I was that talented. Get back to work.

[@thechumpsbeendumped.7797]

The day just got a little better.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

I really like this design! Great job.

Thanks Jer 😉

[@bobapthorpe]

The fitment between the ratchet and pawl shows some amazing attention to detail. Even more impressive than usual, and that's saying a lot.

[@anatoliy.shuparskyy]

Lovely approach with engineering! There is no overcomplication as well as no oversimplification..

[@oldhick9047]

I am an old man and have been doing this kind of work for a good long time now. Your skills are very impressive as is the manner in which you attack a rebuild of these very complicated, precise machines.

[@ilmondodimassi]

I had never seen a hydraulic press moving from both sides. You did an amazing job, every detail is perfect. Great Calem

[@rbclima]

That lateral movement blew up my mind! its Genius!

[@stoffel89]

You know allot of people mentioned you for a precision surface grinder machine vice that Mr lipton is giving away to someone who is passionate about the trade. My hope is that you get the vice. As I really feel you deserve it. Best of luck.

[@randynovick7972]

+1

[@mikelloyd2013]

No one is more passionate!

Oh man. I've just seen that. Watched his videos just right after posting but rarely comment. He has been one of my "teachers" on this trade also the reason im intersted in it. Its a lie if i say i dont want that beautiful vise but im sure he will fine the right person. Thank you guys alot, im very very appreciate your love.

[@Chromevulcan]

I really like the bushings for the MT mounts on your splash guard. Clever, elegant, and usually overlooked. Excellent work, I really enjoy your videos and I'm glad you've finally started narrating.

[@WUdhuozouz]

Probably the most well build shop press on youtube! What a build!

[@Mr.Donahue]

Loved the sea gull sounds! Too funny.

[@Andrew_Fernie]

The sliding ram is genius! Never seen that before.👍

[@mikelloyd2013]

Sliding rams are not uncommon, but are seldom seen on smaller or cheaper presses. They require a more precise build, which Ca Lem excels at!

[@glgreetham]

Your press is a much better design and superior quality than anything I have commercially available in the USA market. You are a very talented machinist. Great job!

[@austinwhiteside8486]

Wow utilitarian design but looks amazing and the design features truly made your self a valuable tool.

[@Accolade.]

Nice, this guy have too much skills to do what he want .. I like him.

[@TheMotoWerx]

It is so enjoyable watching you work and the things you create, modify, restore, rebuild. Always look forward your videos.

[@baddoopey]

As usual, you’re an artist in all you do.

[@a.bakker64]

Thank you Cà Lem for this beautiful content.

[@ericmartin5720]

DaVinci award for pure inventiveness, not to mention skilled fabrication. Cheers!

[@vanguardcycle]

Son!!!!! That thing is sick!! It really shows through your attention to detail how much you truly enjoy metalworking.

[@m3chanist]

The nicest reinterpretation of parting squeal I've ever heard or seen. Ill close my eyes and imagine the ocean next time I hear some 😉

[@cavemaneca]

Also, the things you've been able to build are excellent. Skill and ingenuity.

[@Thewatson77]

By far the most accurate , precise , most thought out press ever built. Another fantastic job 👍🏼👍🏼

[@grahamslater3355]

You simply could not buy something of this quality, Superb job.

[@keithparady2594]

It’s like a piece of art I’m just a knobody but u definitely need more recongnition for the work that you do keep up the good work

[@tonyrmathis]

When you ran away from the milling machine you gave a whole new meaning to term remote machining.

[@ADBBuild]

That sliding head is very cool. Makes the press much more versatile.

[@joewhitney4097]

This was a fantastic video and build. Really like your added features, the R/L cable system, the handle feature on the support pins and the roller feature of the head assembly. Great job. Thanks for sharing.

[@BestialSwarm]

I'm honestly impressed by the design details you put into this.

[@nakulverma7148]

Exceptional designer/engineer/machinist/fabricator at work. But your mechanism design skills are peerless, always such a suspenseful pleasure to watch it all come together.

[@kostasstamatakos1230]

The only excuse for using a mill's spindle to press something, is building a press! :) Great work Calem!!

[@dylanschmidt4166]

The work and quality you put into your machines and builds really puts your videos on another level. Every second is a joy to watch. Your subscribers are so lucky to have you.

[@glenncpw]

Once again brilliant engineering and execution of same - ever so envious of your skill...

[@tobzo]

Your look of satisfaction at 17:13 is so relatable. Amazing job!

[@chrishayes5755]

I'm in the process of building a 90 ton hydraulic press.. mine is going to be cool.. but yours is way cooler IMO. you win lots of style points. amazing work never stop!!

[@dlavway1]

Simply brilliant!!!! What a joy,to witness greatness...

[@AlfonMon]

Amazing!🙌

[@tristanhali8252]

Great video mate! Just thought I would mention that I use aquarium or pond pumps as coolant pumps on my machines that done have them. Very cheap and work very well.

[@dixonqwerty]

Wow. Excellent build as always!! Your new shop layout looks really good. That lathe splash guard is really cool and practical.

[@tooltimechris7217]

You just put the expectation level a step higher! Awesome build as always!

[@justus1995]

looking good ! really like the movable piston, missing on mine for that once-a-year weird piece that won´t fit otherwise

[@jimmccorison]

Wonderful workmanship. The attention to detail is a joy to see.

[@TrPrecisionMachining]

very good job ca lem..thanks for your time

Thank you for your time too.😉

[@LOCKSMITHH]

This is simply the best manufacture I have ever seen! With deepest respect, greetings to you from Poland

[@antonwhittle415]

I'm watching this literally clapping at the screen when you make another awesome feature. Simply brilliant work.

[@tomsimpson5295]

I have a twenty-ton press in my shop that my father fabricated using pieces of truck frame and a bottle jack. It is, by most measures, a very good press and I get good use out of it. Cà Lem's is an order of magnitude nicer than the one my father built. Very nice work. I learn a lot about machine design and fabrication here...

[@trevorjarvis3050]

That sliding ram! Yes! Hey Tom, if you’re watching, this is where you send that vice.

[@sabinocenineto]

Awesome work! You're fabricating skills are cleary maxed out!

[@LeonUnger]

Another show of craftsmanship. You never fail to amaze me with your work. I wish I had a son just like you, and I wish to wish I was that talent in order to facilitate my work. I would be proud of this son every day.

[@ramosel]

It’s a real pleasure to watch your work, as good as it is, always getting better. Watching the young guns like yourself or Kurtis (Cutting Edge Engineering) who not only have the skill but also the confidence in your methods... giving the old guard a reason to look over their shoulder. Bravo.

[@038Dude]

As always, masterpiece.

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

Absolutely!

[@droppedpasta]

Amazing. So many brilliant engineering solutions.

[@dannyholohan2667]

Thank you so much for putting the guard back on the grinder. I always cringe when it’s used without. Love your work!!!

[@johnsmith-kr]

this young guy is special in all the best ways. An inspiration indeed!

[@tattoos1988]

Always a good evening when there is a new video from you mate wow that is a beast well built the engineering is amazing thanks for sharing precision fits and all stay safe all the best god bless

[@samcoote9653]

Damn that sliding head is so cool, awesome build man!

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Cà Lem, brilliant design, you have put a lot of thought into this press, awesome job mate, cheers Matty

Thank you Matty 😘

[@bigblockization]

What a super nice job, I would be proud to have one like it, just wonderful, and so creative.

[@douglasharley2440]

you are a top-notch engineer, a gifted artist, and an *amazing* machinist. lol, that's may be the nicest small press in the world.

[@andreamaretto5765]

Bravo! Così si lavora in officina! Si vede che hai non solo passione,ma anche amore per la meccanica. Lavori preciso e pulito. Ce ne fossero di ragazzi giovani come te,che rendono onore alla meccanica.. continua cosi!

[@romainberger]

Quite impressed that someone could reinvent the hydraulic press...! Great job

[@romainberger]

Also, just out of curiosity, what do you do for a living ?

[@jeffanderson1653]

Outstanding design. I love your little touches of bearings for sliding the cylinder, the pawl for the crank fit like a glove. The rotary table work on that was awesome. Having the long travel of the ram saves on adjustment time too.

[@johnjelinek-g7b]

The nicest built long throw 20 ton press I've seen yet . :)

[@bigsmoke6189]

A good long stroke cylinder ,most commercial presses don't have the travel for keyway broaching .nice job!

[@jzrgrmm]

Just recently discovered this channel, absolutely outstanding.

[@c6quad3]

I'm always impressed by your work! I love how the the hydraulic ram is able to move and not just fixed in the center of the press. Very slick design!

[@keithviolette5870]

This is the highest precision press I have seen. Well done!

[@joemiller5110]

Thank you for sharing your time and talents Ca Lem. You have my prayers for your health!

[@MikhailZombie]

Как обычно просто супер! Все ровно, идеальная подгонка запчастей! Лучше чем на заводе!

[@IGBasov]

Cool press. Well done, turner!

[@lepompier132]

Nice project, you even improve the design by having the cylinder movable from left to right on rollers bearrings. That way the main cylinder does always stay in the middle. Great job.

[@NathanNostaw]

What a great press. Love that long ram. Another high quality build.

[@crichtonbruce4329]

I'm always exited to see a new post from you, and you have never disappointed. Your creativity and skills are amazing! I also very much like how you present your content, especially how you mix fast forward and real time footage.

[@Pappaoh]

Beautiful work, beautiful shots, beautiful lighting... thanks for another great vid. If I ever make it across the big pond, I'll be looking you up.

[@captcarlos]

Ca Lem, another sweet vid. That press has some nice features. Very neat the easy positioning of the ram, and what a travel on that ram! That does have potential problems that a shorter ram doesn't but hell, when you need it, it's there!! Well done.

[@gertskjlstrup1804]

words are not enough. Nice job as allways

[@TheEvertw]

What a masterpiece. I figured you were going for the simple hydraulic jack, but you have blown my mind.

[@TomMakeHere]

Very nice design I love the fact that you used the hydraulics to lift the top plate up for assembly

[@davecamilleri9411]

Excellent craftsmanship! I just started building a press of my own, but it won't compare to yours. Great job.

[@rlm98253]

Brilliant design and excellent fabrication. Well done, sir.

[@cavemaneca]

As a simple man, I see a Cà Lem video and I press like.

[@mikelloyd2013]

Hi that guy, I just subscribed to your channel. Your LaBlond lathe restoration series looks interesting. Not only does Ca Lem make the best videos, he has the best viewers!

[@cavemaneca]

@@mikelloyd2013 thanks! I hope people enjoy seeing the process. People like Cà Lem are what influenced me to upload videos of it in the first place.

You just got a new subscriber 😉

[@cavemaneca]

@ that means so much to me, thank you 😁

[@Lammedreng]

Beautiful work 👍🏻

[@zukowski2023]

Ca Lem, again Sir you pulled a rabbit out of your hat. I really like the design of your press and the build was fun to watch as all the parts came together. Thanks for sharing the build with us. Always a pleasure to watch your builds. Stay Safe & Cheers!

[@maximiliankrug1011]

Amazing!! Hope you feel better after the Problems with your eyes.

[@endall6783]

I thought that was always going to be a problem now after that happened. I hope I'm wrong and it gets better. He made a vid about it. Maybe he'll make a comment one way or the other for us/me.

Thank you guys. Im taking some pill. Its fine.

[@465maltbie]

Very nicely done, you have thought out every feature you wanted and made it happen. Thanks for sharing. Charles

[@DudleyToolwright]

Very nice build. Getting the hydraulic pump and cylinder for less than a fortune can be a trick.

[@xyxVULCANxyx]

Amazing attention to details, as always. A pleasure to watch.

[@AdamEarl2]

Very cool. Make sure to relax the cables after the pins are installed, the load will go through the cables first and stretch them out.

[@RotarySMP]

Fantastic build, and excellent workmanship and video editing. Hope that your eye gets better.

Thanks mate. Your videos are awesome btw.

[@RotarySMP]

@ Thanks. I like the way you do whole projects in a video. If I did that, I'd only get one video per year done :( You are much more productive.

[@JulianMakes]

I’ve only just found your channel, and its just awesome. Your skill, care, designs and equipment are a joy to watch. Also your camera shots a perfect too. Bravo. Thank you for making them.

[@hellwispLV]

I wish I could follow you like a puppy and learn everything you do.. amazing work.

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Great build, works very smooth. Love the rollers for the ram slide.

Thanks uncle Randy

[@EverettsWorkshop]

That is a better quality press than we can readily buy here, you did a great job on it! Sorry to hear that your eye is giving you problems, as you say in your pinned comment. I'm hoping you can get it looked at sooner rather than later and that you can get back to your regular life.

[@wojciech_migda]

Now that is a neat design!!! Really nice press! As always a pleasure to watch!

[@kratingdieng]

Love the process, love the details. Thanks Cà Lem for share about this masterpiece..

[@AaronEngineering]

Another awesome build Ca Lem. Your new hydraulic will be such a welcomed addition to your shop. Cheers mate, Aaron.

Thank you mr Aaron

[@Calligraphybooster]

Your eye? Oow… I hope you are well when you read this. I very much enjoyed watching, thank you for posting this excellent vid. Compliments for design and execution, both for the press and the filming!

[@DRIFTWORKSINC]

Great design feature to include bearings on the gantry for easy movement!!!

[@Preso58]

Better than a bought one, in just about every way! I'm going to have to remember that seagull fix for next time I'm parting off.😄👍🇭🇲

Lol. We all hate seagull.

[@bareenlars]

Wow! This is such a tought trough design! Great video!
