thanks very greatful for your kind offer and post sorry mines late coming back i get very down at times and just lurk around the forums reading etc its hard to put into words what i feel but since i got my single phase welder here it what i,ve made from scrap parts when the mood takes me all done on single phase outside my back door out the way from the stress,s of day to day life its been a pain as its not half a dirty job grinding welding etc i,ve buggered one of my kitchin windows with the sparks whooop,s to late now oh and set fire to my jumper with the grinder too"

 

fed up brushing up bits of welding rods and grindin muck to it dont get tramped through house

 

i used a old forklift fork (THICK GOOD STEEL ) pre heated with my friends burning gear to get a good strong weld down with low hydrogen rods

Well i think i,am almost about done with my build now" & cant wait to try it out! all i,ve done in last few weeks it sit looking at it in my garden chair and modifiying the things i,am un happy with etc now the only thing thats bugging me is getting the propper hydraulic pipes made so it will be fast aswell as strong its producing 3200 psi any more than this and things start to bend a bit lol i have had it working over 5300 psi at first but the twin rsj,s i,ve welded together dont like it lol so i,ve turned it down and done a google search to work out its tonnage and i,am getting around 32 ton but like i said its slow as i,am running it on my portapower pipes only 3/8 bsp but will upgrade them to 3/4 bsp so i will get around 17 gpm oil flow then i will let you know how i get on when i finally get round to trying it out etc its kept my mind busy which cant be bad even if i never use it much etc at least i feel like i,ve done something worthwhile and say to myself see that there i built that out my own head no plans or help all on my own makes me feel good just to look at it i know you all think i,am maaaaaaaaaaad but i,am going forward not backwards and it keeps me out of trouble too

is that ment to be 17ltrs flow

 

no 17 gpm should be quick if its to fast i will just fit some smaller flow restricters fittings but at least the engine wont need to be revving its pants off etc as its all been made from bit,s n bobs all s/h so dont want it to destroy itself or overwork the engine its been fun building it well her shes called matilda mk1
