My homemade Hydraulic Bench Press

[kess]

I have always thought of making a small press, but I put it all for later.
Until the time came and I made it.
Twenty-five years I was the owner of a company whose main equipment was the presses (hydraulic and eccentric from 12 to 300 ton) for the processing of stainless steel and the production of stainless steel utensils for home and professional use.
And I did not had a press for my hobby

Also I want to Thanks Tuomas for his footings design, that I have use.

Part2:include: the build of movable support bed
