Very nice press. Would it be possible to make an automatic hydraulic one powered by a foot pedal. I only have a very small workshop and one this size would be fantastic.It would be used to forge laminated steel. any suggestions would be helpful. thank you. Peter

Well thought out because not everyone has welding skills or equipment and this is Meccano like in design and application in a good way
