Check out 15:00 at the motor and tank,.... Good job i like it when people get outside the box. I have a old screw type splitter? I wonder if that would work?
Balzar Frozenoft wow I completely didn't notice that. It has to be the vibrations and the frame rate working together to make it capture that. That's awesome. Thank you for pointing that out.
James, I'm so ecstatic for you right now. that's so amazing. that should be a huge boon for your business. it will certainly save tons of time punching and drifting tool eyes.
I’ve been thinking about doing this as a cheaper and easier access alternative to a power hammer. All the videos I’ve seen of people making log splitter presses, I see they all put electric motors on them. But I wanted to see how the gas motor would work, and for you, it seems to work just fine. Thanks for this informative video series. Oh. And I wanted to add, you’re right about what you said about preheating your thick steel and getting better penetration, but there’s also another purpose. It also keeps the welds from cooling down too quickly, as thicker steel is a heat sink, so it helps prevent the welds from cracking.
Damn James they stuck it to yeah on that hose thats gates M2t hose.I build these alot at work,we charge .52 per foot for 1/2 line and then the fittings.Great video thanks for posting!
marvin alan cornell I think it was the plastic tank virbrating and the perfect frame rate that captured that because it doesn't do it with the naked eye
Awesome! I been talking to that guy about the one for sale. We finally got down to it will fit if I build a new table for it so now to arrange to get down there. 250 miles each way but hell its a press. Tickled to death with the hockey puck you made. Now i'm panting.
You did it! Looks like it turned out awesome. Gas was not too loud in pre build. might drown out voice a little bit, but whats a race car without the engine roar! Nice job on the build. Makes me want to mortgage the boardwalk and Marvin gardens to build one myself. 🤔 can it be done
group I & II aren't too bad about preheat. above 50 deg ambient temp, no preheat for thicknesses up to 1.5" ,1.5-2" 150 deg, >2" 250 deg. that covers A36 to A572, group III which is gunna be more the tool steel I think preheat starts at 1" @ 250 deg to a max of 400 deg including interpass temperature , might be 450??? all to do with the heat affected zone. preheat allows the weld to cool slower and more consistently throughout. pile heavy weld on a joint with no heat and it bows worse and potential of under bead cracking. think of it as normalizing or annealing the weldment
Nice to see credit given to those that inspire ,👊🏻👍
That thing does have some grunt! I need to go back through your library to watch the earlier vids. Thanks!
Very cool, I like seeing how a guy can go about making these tools that are otherwise living in Dreamland.
That's bloody marvellous. I could hear the manic chuckling when that squashed the end on billet. Awesome job James. Well done you.👍
Wow fantastic job James!!
It will Crush. Nice Job Can't wait to see it in action.
Nice work. Looks like that thing will move some steel!!!

Real real nice job brother. Smart work! Let the Damascus flow!
Very nice series James. Bet yer like a kid in a candy store with that new toy
Nice one, turned out very well,
congrats on the build. may it live long help you prosper
very well informative video series from the start to the finish I am now supporting you on Patreon May God Bless you and your family Greatly
AMAZING !!!!! MORE Power

Nice job Ting Ting works just as it should

great video, thanks for answering the question.
Great info 2 pull from in this video. Thanks james!
Thanks for sharing the build. Enjoyed the videos.
That's just awesome. that thing works great I'm glad you got it done.

Rock Mike yeah I figured I was getting hosed but it was what was available in a pinch. They made them on the spot for me in like 5 minutes
I hear yeah loud and clear sir...whats that saying"gotta piss with the cock yeah got" lol
Well done sir! Much like Tim you did an awesome job!
Nice job!!! And very detailed.
Thank you for the warning about the hydraulic line prices I was helpful very nice conversion.
Impressive... good job.
You are the man! Now let’s start building race car parts!
Tieler Dodge dude I'm down...would save alot of money wouldn't it? Haha see you Saturday brother
You did a great job
James the engine was doing a hola dance when you was showing the press working HA HA HA ...
marvin alan cornell I think it was the plastic tank virbrating and the perfect frame rate that captured that because it doesn't do it with the naked eye
He’ll ya! Awesome job!
Awesome build!

Jim Patterson so you're buying the press? That's awesome if so man. Happy for you.
Good stuff man!
Awesome!!
Great JOB !!!! Production will be easier.
Great job

Congrats! well done! 👍 👍
Color me impressed! That's a nice tool!
PS. The torch at 8:43, can it get metal hot enough to do rivets and bends in small-ish stock?
Anuron Ironworks depending on the size maybe...I would say anything bigger than 1/4" would probably not get hot enough
Alright, thanks!
Nice job, thanks for showing the build process, I hope she gives you many, many hours of trouble free service and brings in the bucks.

sweet
I want to see how that works
Well I use it in almost every video on my channel since I built it so have a look around if you want.
Do 2 pedals. 1 for up and 1 for down
Looks good . Instead of Ting Ting, we can call you Wack Wack, lol!
Nice👍👍👍👍
does this mean we can see some cool demascus
Are you still using this press and if so what changes have you made
I am and so far I haven't made any changes other than it's location.
How many gallons have a pump
I'm not sure I understand the question. If you're asking the volume of the hydraulic fluid tank, it's like 10 gallons.
I bet you are just tickled pick. Lol
What no more ting-ting now ti's wosh-wosh good job. Be well and be safe
