I just finished this press and took some pictures while it is still nice and clean.  Back when I lived in NJ my buddy Thad told me if I could design one, he could weld it up - and we did just that.  Thad welded up two of them, one for him, one for me. I moved it to Wisconsin where it sat for a year and a half and I just moved it out to the new shop and got it going.  Turned out really good and it provided a solid mount for my blacksmith vise as well.  This is a 5HP unit - 2 stage pump and very much based on Batson's book.  

Here are some pics:

Enjoy it while it's clean!!
Nice job.
Rig up a foot pedal that'll kick it up a notch.

I like that old blacksmiths vice mounted on the side. The old with the new, great combo.

Very nice press.

Wow!  That is an Impressive piece of equipment!

Your gonna have fun with that!
