    1. I suppose he doesn’t have an old Volkswagen screw jack, so he has to make do with a hydraulic press.

      Use what have, do what you can.

  1. Sounds like my sibling’s in-laws
    A bit like Beaker meets Mr. Rogers with a dash of Swedish chef thrown in for good measure, all-rolled-into-one great and unmistakable accent.
    And a fun bunch indeed

  2. Ridiculous. They were using no more than maybe two tons of that 300-ton press’s capacity. 300 tons would collapse the lower support of that espresso machine, and then the whole thing, aluminum piston, cylinder and all, would get squashed into a flattened mass at 300 tons.

    Been there, done that with machine shop presses a lot smaller than that. I once needed a short chunk of aluminum round bar 2-1/4″ diameter, but all we had on hand was 2″. I cut a piece of that, put it in the 50-ton press, and squashed it lengthwise so it got shorter but fatter, big enough to meet my needs. Took it out and machined it to the part I needed.

    With less than 50 tons.

    This 300-ton stuff is just another TV stunt to impress the uninitiated.

  3. I love his Worm Maker 5 Million.
