I don't have it with me here at work; but Mike Bishop wrote up an article in the old American Rodder magazine, late 1990's. Great set of pictures, bill of materials and explaination of how-to-do. I'll get the issue date for you when I get home. You may be able to find the issue on ebay.

You might also do a search on the HAMB or here for home made tools.

I built one many years ago.The hardest part was drilling all the 1 5/16" holes in the beam webs for the bars. After doing a couple in the mill,I gave it to a friend of mine who had acess to an iron worker and he punched them.I used an extra 10 t portapower ram and air-over foot pump I had to power it. Still works great,my son has it now,i needed more so bought a 20t electric/hyd unit.
