took about a month to build, working 2 hrs a day 3 to 4 days a week. the only thing i would prolly change is putting a 12 ton jack instead of an 8 ton jack in
no not a metal smith, i should say i made all the dimensions and cut and drilled all the material, but my dad did the weilding. i suck ass at weilding as i've never had to do it. i had my dad's hired man paint it, the color is International Tractor Red lol. it looks and works pretty good for a couple of hicks from the stix building it
and yeah, i've seen a bench with hydralic columns, the usapl here uses one in their meets
