Thanks!!

I had fun putting it together!! I might consider building a couple more for sale BUT I'm not much of a welder so I would not feel safe sending you something that I've welded:tongue: Not that I'm afraid that this one is going to fail!!! Just one of those things.

But I think it turned out pretty good.

looks like superman built it. Looks good....

looks good I plan on building one very similar, but havent figured out how im gonna do the fingers yet.

Everything Red is Plastic Dip. The Main Body of the jack was sprayed with a truck bedliner and then painted with the blue. I decided to polish the Aluminum legs instead of paint them. It was probably more work than painting them but I think they look good.

Looks like it would work great on a Hoyt. Good job!

is that some sort of square stock that you heated to make the fingers or is that cut from plate???

It's 1/2" Keystock. I welded the 4 fingers together then bent them in a Press at the same time so I could get them all to match each other.

Old thread but I figured I'd post up and say that I've been using the heck out of this thing and it was worth every penny and the time it took to build.

Looks good man!

 

[gonefirefightin]

nice handy work, now cover it with stickers

 

[hunt1687]

Nice

Very nice. I kind of had your idea for the finger manufacture but wasn't sure how it would work. Now I know. Thanks. I have all the parts now only thing I seem to be lacking is the time. Thanks again and real nice job.:thumbs_up:RockOn:

I am considering building parts that folks can attach to the harbor freight jacks so the non-welding public can have a DIY press too, everything would be bolt on
Of course I am trying to come up with a different type finger to keep from getting in trouble

From what I have read, I don't think it's just the fingers that are getting people letters in the mail, it's also the method in which the bows are pressed - linear and screw type.

I think, not 100% positive on that.

But would bolting said parts onto a trailer jack be a problem??? I would not be selling the jack, just jack attachments???

I have no clue, my comment was more FYI then anything else.

I would love to see a "kit" made to where someone could go to a local store and buy a square body jack of specific size range and bolt on the required attachments - wouldn't be hard at all.

Believe me, when I was building mine it went thru my head more then once. And even have some drawings for it. Was going to make it's primary function a draw board ... and as a by-product could be reconfigured into a press.
