ok I have decided to build a 50,000 ton press. I will need some help with the heavy bits, anyone keen to lend a hand next weekend?
Here is a glimpse of what it might look like (will be a different colour though)

Might need a lot of beer to repay the favours on that one.The re routing of the kiwi rail net work to take away the parts made may be a issue also.
Done deal, how about a titanium one instead?Quote:

shit, ill have to build a bigger press, might be a bit beyond my capabilities.
Count you appendages before and after use!:wtfsmilie:
What are ya gonna use it for?
Link seems to go to a rocket doco ....but I know someone in chch with a really big press, (picture one that fills a whole 6mx3m garage....) I think his weights about 12 tone, but dont know how much "squash" it has....I know the ram and top rail is about 5 ton.
I’ll give you a hand as long as I can use it for reloading, my arm gets tired after pressing 20. ��
all of the range rovers compressed into one heavy mooring block.Quote:

If you find a pair of these lying around, throw them in.

If you find one of these lying around, you'll lose your arm, and it 'll break the press.

Good fucken luck getting a go at one, even lions and leopards don't mess with those things
You are going to need a few liters of hombrew to build that, then you will have to change name to 240mm after you press a few heavy artillery barrels.Quote:

I have only ever heard 105mm rounds going by which sound awesome, apparently the big ones sound like a train.
If I were one of those billionaire type guys, I would have someone build me a battleship and Id have a crew to run it. Put some fancy stuff inside and cruise around sinking rogue containers during the summer!Quote:

They had some of these in Hitlers atlantic wall defences. same size as the guns in the USS Missouri-16" (406mm) as well as 380mm jobbies and lots of smaller big ones
Fired approximately 2200 shell at Dover from near Calais

When you build your press, i have the perfect lubricant to use for it, politicians, the slimiest greasiest bastards going round. Just grab a new one and throw it in when needed, plenty of the bastards around. :thumbsup:
Am I allowed to like that?Quote:
