I bought access to this site in order to find some plans for building a forging press. I haven't found any yet. Unless someone can direct me in finding some, seems I just wasted my $69.

I guess a lot depends on what size or tonnage of a press you are looking for. When I think of a forging press the first thing that comes to mind is a behemoth capable of 1000s of tons of force. if that is what you are seeking to find then a machine in that size range would be well outside of the realm of expertise for most builders on this site. A few of us have the capability to design such a machine but this boils down to if the need for one hasn't arose it is unlikely anyone has decided to build one.Quote:

If you are looking for something more like a power hammer, then are a couple plans in the book of plans which may provide gridlines for you to scale up to a machine fitting your requirements.
