The many videos about hydraulic presses on Youtube can be divided into:
Proof of concept or toy small presses made out of PVC tubing and so, with no practical use
Large plump heavy presses based on a car jack and steel beams. Very usable but way too big for me.

Here the second video of my attempt to build a 1 to 2 metric tons tiny precision hydraulic table top press with a tiny electric pump.

Please inform me regarding what you think of this new synthetic voice, thank you!
