It’s ALIVE!!
#thisisagamechanger

I built this press over the course of the last few months from a Ron Claiborne design and a plan and spec sheet from @redbeardops
It’s a 30 ton hydraulic press that will help me with forge welding billets of steel to make Damascus.
Mike Stacy welded the frame together since it will be under such immense forces but everything else, including the welded shelves and hydraulics, I did myself and learned a LOT along the way!
Thanks to my beautiful wife Tanya Carlton LaBarge who supported my endeavor into building this press, and my addiction of playing with molten steels!

This little trick works so well! I can’t believe it took me this long to figure it out.
.
Tips, tricks, and hacks from other makers have saved me more times than I can count. So I figured I’d pass it on.

Thank You to everyone who dm/ comment/ message/ text/ voicemail/ smoke signal a ‘happy bday’. I am grateful, appreciative & privilege to have live thus far. “Life is short” and trust me, I try to live in the present as much as possible as I can because it may be over in an instant. YOLO! I may be 38 but I will always feel 21. As I have said, “Getting old is inevitable, growing up is optional.” Thank you & God Bless 💛❤️🩵

Feeling good so far. On to sheath making. Waiting for a special stash of leather.

It's 3 months late, but it's finished! Well it still needs an edge but I consider it done. Acid etched and stonewashed blade with black linen Micarta handles.
