I thought I would show what I've been yippen about lately so I've have put a pic up of what I am trying to build and where I am with it. So far so good. The measurements all line up and I have a square opening. As of yet, nothing is welded and tomorrow I go and pick up a hydraulic implement cylinder - 5" bore, 10" stroke. If anyone could steer me in the right direction for a pump and motor to drive this thing I would greatly appreciate it. I also have the book "Build your own forge press" on order but some of the work can be done before I get to that stage. https://photos.app.goo.gl/bYxVNn1dAmYfHjjX6
