Nice to see you still have the paper towel holder and it still looks shiny.

Looks like a lot of interesting new developments, and content coming. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to following along the evolution of your shop.

Your projects are practical and well done. You use that small space of yours very effectively.

Looks like the conversion is successful . Thanks for the video.

Great video, always interesting-looking forward to your next installment-well done✅👍

I have a 3 ft 16ga stomp shear and you are correct its not much fun. well done.

Well done! Love your videos! I had a similar hydraulic DIY project and also selected a Majister cylinder and same kind of 12vdc pump due to attractive price and tremendous pressure, but also had a power supply issue. I used a harbor freight ~$120 jump starter that says can do 200amps at 12v. I purchased the older model with a big bridge rectifier rather than the newer transistor type. It burned out and I diagnosed the diodes failed after a year of use, but found cheap ebay "button diode" replacements for about $5, the original diodes I think were only rated for 35amps so I replaced them with something like 70amp diodes, and now it runs at about 100amp burst (I think repairing the transistor version might be more difficult to troubleshoot, or it might run flawlessly, as is...)

I like that stomp shear! I missed out on one from a building we are renovating... I am going to go back and see if I can chase it down. I've wanted one since high school. I'm looking forward to the punch press 1000.

You are amazing for sure! I can't wait for you to post a video on your newest punch press. It appears you have some stops set up for controlling how far the ram will travel - I'm assuming that's for your custom Unipunch countersinking process? I've just purchased a Redline 50 ton electric over hydraulic press - it uses the same motor/hydraulics you have purchased. I would love to set up a foot pedal to control the up/down ram rather than the lever. Any thoughts on how I can do that? I'd also like to move the oil filled pressure gauge up onto my press rather than on the pump where it is now located. I remember you mentioned you were thinking about doing that on your first press where you had purchased a different gauge (50 ton gauge rather than the 100 ton gauge they sent with your motor/pump). Craig - can we see some of these in a new video? You are the master and I the humble student wishing to learn more from you! Thanks, mikey

Make a video on the automatic punch press asap! Very cool

Just saw your video about the hydraulic shear. What size of tie rod cylinder did you use or stoke size.

what is the bore and stroke of the cylinders your using? What is the specs on the pump pressure and gpm? I have a shear id like to do like you did.

Did you install a flow divider in your system? Thanks.

Nice job, well engineered. Do the hydraulics allow you to cut thicker gauge sheets then the manufacturer maximum (guessing 16g) as a stomp shear?

Have you tried a power supply from 120v to12v to eliminate the battery that’s what I’m using for my wench in my shop

Craig did you ever consider a hydraulic unit off of a car hoist. I own two flex arm tapping arms they are game changer for tapping holes

Hey! Great solution here. I didn't catch the maker or supplier for the Hydraulic unit?? I'm going to give this a go. -K

What ton are the cylinders

How many mm thickness

You're clever but I think you over think solutions to problems. I would have put the money you spent on the shear toward a cnc plasma cutter. It would cut those pieces out super fast, with much less
