20 Ton Shop Press

Great job. I would not have thought of yellow, but I like it. A project you should be dam proud of.
 
Looks nice and strong, great design. Like the footies too, and the star-pins
 
nice job, Ihave mine on heavy duty casters, pull it out to use it, push it in the corner when done.
 
Very nice build Bill.

I'm not sure I understand how you have the winch cable routed.
Is the winch winding two cables (one for each side) or ???

I will attach another picture that may show the cable routing a little clearer. It is one cable attached in the middle of the drum and split to each side of the bed.BE4B1FAB-6D32-4B21-AA70-E3856E0AB38C.jpeg
 
Wow, thank you all so much for all the kind comments, I didn’t think this would generate this kind of interest. I did work on a few things today to help finish it off. The handle that is supplied with the jack is pretty pathetic, so I made another one. It was a shift handle off a riding lawnmower that I modified a little bit to work on the jack. I had a little stub of aluminum shaft, so I also made a holder to keep it close by when not using the air assist. Now I need to scrounge up some steel for press plates. I guess things are never really quite done.
