BigG Skibuilding preparation progress ;-)

Post by BigG »

Hi everybody,

I have been quite some time on this forum and a couple of months (9) ago I started collecting materials and designing a press.
By the end of January I ordered my steel in 6m bars and cut it to the right length. As I'm working a lot in Germany and I'm living in Belgium I have to get my things done in the couple of hours I have when I'm home.

After a lot of time I'm able to show you something.
This is my press which will have another additional functionality: the 4 middle vertical bars will have the possibility to be opened in an easy way.
It can already be opened but removing the threaded bar is a real pain.

The press surface is 240cm long and 40cm wide.

I hope to show you some more information soon.

Regards,

Geoff
