I Turned a Bottle Jack into a Hydraulic Press

In this video, I take a standard bottle jack and turn it into a heavy-duty DIY hydraulic shop press from scratch. I walk you through the entire build process—from cutting steel stock and welding the heavy-duty frame to adding return springs and testing its pressing power on real workshop tasks.
If you are looking to build your own affordable and reliable hydraulic press, this step-by-step build breakdown will give you all the details and dimensions you need!
