Not anymore, fuck the Wasatch front

 

Osha who?

 

Tell us how you really feel.

 

I know you hate SLC traffic too soooo

 

Bruh you didn't take me on a walk after work, what the fuck

 

That thing is fucking sweet!!

Did @Daddo make that or was it purchased? I seriously need that... soooo much better than my janky ass redneck set up lol

 

Like you, it's mildly annoying.

 

Dude your setup is legit AF, don't downplay that thing!

He bought the kit from S.O. but put it together himself as they offer a weld it yourself version or already welded.

Offered it to me some weeks back so he made the trip today so I can buy it from him; I don't expect to bend too much but like I said...at this age I'd rather work smarter not harder.

 

Shoot You're already getting more use out of it than I did in the past 5 yrs. I'm glad it went to someone who will use it.

 

Damn, that's a nice rig. Man, I need to finish making mine. Ghetto pressing is like top 3 most dangerous things I do. LOL I thought the orange one was nice!!

 

Another member always finds me and chimes in with "always looking for a reason to cut stuff huh?"

Now I'm gonna see what all I can bend

 

@Kwikvette Seriously bro!!!!!!! Damn foot pedal break!!

 

And Amazon delivered

I can't imagine using the lever on a manual hydraulic jack. Not that there's anything wrong with it but you get such little movement on every stroke

Don't think I'd ever recommend the setup without having an air jack and foot pedal first

 

wtf kinda ghetto setup you got goin on over there. No mill?? no lathe?? Slippin!How much was that thing?

 

needs moar hydraulic pump and motor

 

I know!

I need to stop being poor

Got the press (as well as a dessicant filter, more air hose, fittings, and air jack) with 20% off everything which made a huge difference. Ran into someone I went to school with that was working there.

The brake I got used from @Daddo

All in I'm at what under $600?

 

After enough bed stiffeners and signs I figure I can step up to one of these

 

Nice setup man! Shop is getting dialed in! Floor press is the money shot. Table top is bullshit. Well worth $1000 to me right now. Depending on which finger I lose first though w current setup.. Maybe $2k if its a thumb. I like that one.

 

Thumb and middle definitely the most valuable

What's the current setup you're using right now? Think space is one of your constraints as well right?

 

Biggest regrets I have with mine are; it's so finicky to line everything up to get a square bend, plus the metal I used was only cold rolled, not actually hardened. It's been doing alright but it's super worn out lol

Glad it worked out and you ended up with it, you may not use it often but it'll come in soo handy when you do need it
