Thank you! I'm trying to do better with capturing more of the process/machining

@@hiddenworldforge374 Seems like you’re improving to me.

That's a pretty good idea, I might have to do that before I use em any more. Maybe put some round stock in the empty space too

@@hiddenworldforge374 I dont think you would need to put round stock in, you wouldnt really bend it after plug welding it solid, if you manage to flatten or bend the triangle, then your welds have long given up anyhow and you probably would have folded the press up from that much force, lol. In other words, welding the sides of the angle iron solidly down, you'll never have it move on you, lol.

@@ChirpysTinkerings You're probably right lol. I've already used em to bend up the stainless I needed, and I abused em a bit today bending a funky chunk of C channel. They can definitely take a lot of force but for longevity I'll probably plug weld it

Not much, considering they worked and still do

@@hiddenworldforge374 Drop them on the hard floor several times then put 40 tons on them..

@@SegoMan "Abuse your tools and put them under more load than they were designed for" They're simple dies made for bending stuff under 1/4". They hold up to 20 tons just fine

@@hiddenworldforge374 Post your build on welding web or a similar welding site and see if you get the same response.

@@hiddenworldforge374 Hey man. Good job. Don't take any notice of the know all smart asses that want to tell everyone how clever they are.

Valid points, don't care though. I've been losing weight, I imagine you don't care about the positives in life
