Hi all,
This video is a bit of a departure from my normal uploads.
This is just some candid recording done by my wife on Sunday afternoon.
If people like this style of video, we might do more of them in the future whenever my wife is available to spend time in the shop with me.
There is very minimal editing and this is basically my wife following me around the shop while I do a small personal project.
I will be automating my hydraulic shop press with an air powered push button bottle jack.
My Lathe: MSC / Prince 9517350 - 13x40 Manual Metal Lathe
My Milling Machine: Bridgeport Variable Speed Series 1 "J Head"
My other Milling Machine: Brown & Sharpe No. 2 Plain "light type" Universal Milling Machine

I did the same upgrade on my 20 ton press, night and day compared to the pump jack. I also used some thick self stick felt material that home depot sells for furniture legs to take up the slop that the bar has where it travels up and down along the side uprights.

2 things that make that mod priceless, a knurled knob for the release and a foot switch.

@hersch_tool 6 месяцев назад

Brilliant

@minskmade 6 месяцев назад

and deff a foot pedal.

I like the new format. Informal, wife behind camera, shop dog getting pats..and unscripted talk. A winning formula.

@hersch_tool 6 месяцев назад

Thanks very much, we will try to do more like this whenever my wife is available to help. It was a lot of fun to make as well

Adjustable transfer punch. It's made in Germany, can't remember the name of the company offhand, I'll have to check.

@curtdunlap6818 6 месяцев назад

Ah! Memories of retrofitting a Vevor air hydraulic jack to my Harbor Freight 20 ton press, but with one exception. I left the retraction assembly on my jack so when it retracts, it goes fast! Great work! It was like deja vu all over again!

@hersch_tool 6 месяцев назад

Thanks, and thank you for watching!

@stevevogelman3360 5 месяцев назад

The bott. Doesn’t have to be bolted down

@honeycuttracing 6 месяцев назад

We purchased one of these and it was pure Vevor aka junk, instead of regular hydraulic oil, it was filled with brake fluid, so had to have our hydraulic guy replace every seal inside and clean all the metal debris out that Vevor's factory 🏭 left inside, we have not had one product from Vevor show up to shop that wasn't majorly defective, would not suggest buying a thing from them!

@hersch_tool 6 месяцев назад

Yeah the import tools ALWAYS come absolutely covered in black grit that looks like grinding dust or something. I always completely disassemble, clean, fix and reassemble import tools before using them. That's the price us hobbyists pay for "affordable" tools after the gutting of US manufacturing I guess. But break fluid? Sheesh, how does that even happen?

@Some_DIY 6 месяцев назад

Great idea! What a coincidence. I made a press from a jack a couple of days ago. You might be interested in looking at it. Come visit. Liked and subscribed to your channel.

We all have our demons, God knows I struggle with mine every day. Being honest to ourselves about them is often the hardest part of the battle, you've already won that fight, so keep fighting.

@Dogfather66227 6 месяцев назад

I appreciate the informal format. As we know, sometimes less is more. Shop animals are a proven formula too. The air hydraulic bottle jack seems to be the best of both worlds since it will still work as a manual jack. Manual is useful for seating bearings and delicate stuff. Now if they just had a pressure gauge. . .

@hersch_tool 6 месяцев назад

Thanks very much, it was a lot of fun to make as well, and getting to hang out with my wife in the shop on a Sunday afternoon is about as good as it gets. And yeah, pressure gauge would be awesome.

@stevevogelman3360 5 месяцев назад

I bought the air bottle jack same time as my press, installed a foot control and handle on the release valve works great.

@hersch_tool 5 месяцев назад

yeah i think i'll end up putting on a foot control as well. the air jack is a game changer for these bottle jack presses, loving this little mod

Wait a minute, did you really think that nobody would notice that machine under covers in the driveway? What`s that? Also, damn you, you motivate me to make my own h.press... I have some nice stock on hand just for such a project, and i lack a press, furthermore, i want to get into some smithing and foundry work, both of which can put a h.press to good use... Best regards! Steuss

@hersch_tool 6 месяцев назад

Lol, why whatever do you mean?... 😎 And you should, and film it so I can copy the design lol

@camillosteuss 6 месяцев назад

@@hersch_tool Oh well, what do i mean, i mean that i want a press, and i have been deliberating on the design and stock selection and all the other nonsense that goes into a press... Having seen your press and the outside facing C sections - that is a damn nice design... Quite easy to implement, easy to weld solid, relies on material that i have on hand and so on... Tho, i think that my C sections may be but a tad thicker walled... Zoinks, scoob, what do we do now - We sneak in a stronger cylinder, of course... I`ll keep the design basic, makes no sense over-complicating what in essence is a moving rod in a sturdy frame...
