I believe I mentioned previously that I would be building a mini-hydraulic press. And I did. And it broke on the third test run. Despite my best efforts at clean, deep welds, apparently a 110V wire feed welder is just not up to the task, even with multiple passes of flux core wire. Also apparently most of these that are being built are being put together with stick welders, but I'm not going to make that kind of investment. It's under the work bench for now. It was pretty cool when it was running, but it was just as disappointing to hear the telltale "ping!" and have one of the uprights separate from the base.
