Louver press

Just finished my press, can punch 2,3,4,and 5" louvers It has a 4' throat. What you fellas think?

 

looking good....any pics of the buisiness end?

 

Looks good, what are you using for dies?

 

thanks. i have the mittler bros. dies and ram assy. but i'm currently working on a more traditional rounded 3'' die setup.

 

really cool! whats the story on that mini teardrop?!

 

thanks. i made the teardrop to pull with our schwinn cruisers, they love it!

 

sorry meant to say our dogs love it...oops!

 

Excellent job on the louvre press and the teardrop trailer's got to be the coolest thing for your pooches to be transported in.

 

Heres some pics of the mini teardrop.

 

thanks! my wife says "its cute"...i just think it kicks ass!

 

thank you unsettled paradox.

 

nice

 

Lucky dog!

 

Good looking press!

 

nice looking press, any picture of the puch set up?

 

That is one up to the task looking press. And the trailer is something else.

 

I had a press in Tacoma for years. First question comes to mind, what are you using for a table, to lay your work on?
If you do a big hood, like a 54 Cadillac, it will be all over the place.

 

and how are you keeping the louvers perfectly in line and spaced?

 

Nice effort, I'd like to see more details at the business end...

 

thanks guys i'll try and post more pic's real soon. the louvers index right on the edge of the die and as long as you have your lines scribed, keeping them perfect is not a problem. thanks Kiwi Kev that means alot coming from someone with such a killer press.

 

heres some more pics.

 

Bump.

 

it sure makes a fine addition to the patio furniture!!

 

haha!!

 

That's pretty damn sweet. Not that it matters but what do you suppose that thing weighs?

 

So you just sit out on the patio pressing louvers and having cold ones. Sounds good.

 

800-900 lbs.??

 

yep just pressing em sipping the cold ones.

 

hey guys thanks for the kind replies.

 

Nice press!
