Very nice! I have a similar set up. I was able to get a piece of steel pipe and a steel plate welded together to place on top of my impressions, it really helps to even out the impressions for me.

I love your videos. I am also looking in purchasing a hydraulic press. I see others use a 20-ton press; those are really pricey. Is there a reason for using a bigger press. I see some really good prices on 6-, 8- or 10-ton presses for a lot cheaper.

When using the impression to make a ring like you showed with the horseshoe do you need to put the die impression on a back plate too?
@SpiritMountainSilver
@SpiritMountainSilver 2 жыл бұрын
Yes I like to-especially for rings!☺️ I usually will solder the impression to 22 gauge sheet and then saw out the horseshoe impression again!

@SpiritMountainSilver
@SpiritMountainSilver 2 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure of the exact specs. However, I got the Urethane from Potter USA and Jim Brandvik Tools on etsy. 18 guage is much harder to work with since it is a thicker gauge. It will require a lot of annealing.

Thank you for an informative video. I'm looking into buying a hydraulic press and wondering what size will work. I have a few questions. One, does the 6 ton work on all of your dies? Two, is that flux you're putting over the marker? Why? Did you bolt down your hydraulic press? Thanks again! Nice video.
@SpiritMountainSilver
@SpiritMountainSilver 2 жыл бұрын
Yup, I have found the 6 ton press works for all my dies...just requires some muscle. I like to flux a piece anytime I am heating it just as an extra precautionary to avoid fire scale. I do not bold down my press! Hope this helps!

I was thinking about getting one of these 6 ton presses, but have been unsure about their strength in comparison with the Harbor Freight 20 ton. (Of course I’d love a Potter 20 ton-but can’t justify the expense.
@SpiritMountainSilver
@SpiritMountainSilver Жыл бұрын
I just recently got a 20 ton press from harbor freight! It is much stronger and requires much less effort than the 6 ton. I was able to bat out 10 impressions in 30 minutes as opposed to only 3 impressions with the 6 ton press in the same amount of time.

Yes, space is an issue. I am not as strong as I used to be, so the 20 ton may be necessary-Potter now has a manual 20 tone for about $1000, payable in installments.
