In this project, Meanwhile In The Garage transforms nothing but scrap steel, salvaged parts, and pure mechanical ingenuity into a fully functional 20-ton hydraulic shop press. Every piece, from rusted beams to repurposed gardener scissors, is meticulously machined, modified, and engineered with absolute precision. The builder disassembles and completely reconfigures a commercial bottle jack, turning it into a hybrid air-over-hydraulic powerhouse. The result? A custom-built, industrial-grade press capable of bending steel, pressing bearings, and handling massive compressive forces with surgical control. This is a DIY build, yes, but also an absolute masterclass in applied mechanical engineering, where creativity and raw power become one.
