Self-Made 26-Ton Hydraulic Forge Press Walkthrough

I've been getting a lot of questions recently about my tools and my workshop, so I’ll start here with my 26-ton hydraulic press.

I built it mainly for working hot steel, but I can also use it for any sort of pressing operation. The frame is made out of half inch thick c channel angle and flat plate, and all the seams are completely welded, with bolts through it too — this thing is really stout and overbuilt for 26 tons. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments!
