Hello and welcome, I built a shop press using the ram from a 4 ton body kit, so I'll be interested to see yours. I'll post some pics of mine when I figure out how to get pics on here.

Welcome to the board, I hope you enjoy yourself. I commend you for still getting to the shop and making thins happen, many guys just give up.

I will look forward to following your project as it progresses.
