The old jaw busters we call them in workshops, be careful pressing to capacity because the cast iron plates can shatter.

Are you saying the press plates or base of the jack? If it's the press plates thanks for the heads up as I thought they were steel. Looks like I need to send my Dad on a mission to his mates and try to get a few offcuts of steel plate to replace them.
My son and his mate have been having fun with it lately learning about the incompressibility of water and breaking shit. Yes I know this setup was not optimal but I had the table low as I was putting something long through the slots in the side panels.
Apparently it's going to get it's own YouTube channel...

Someone might have already changed them, but I'm talking about the spreader plates on the bottom, the originals are normally made of cast on the cheap chinese presses.

I actually have tried to use it for something useful. This is the Uri Gellered rack Vs the standard version.
I still need to cut a couple of cauls to support the profile of the extrusion before I go full send on it.
I plan on heating the crap out of the section that is going to be bent with a heat gun, then make sure I only use this rack for someone else's bike

thanks @Flow-Rider hadn't thought to check that... mine have a nice "ting" sound.. so hopefully steel?
lots of rusty bits n bobs are good, steel and a few chunks of polycarbonate (and u-channel frame for particular hub studs/bearings)
as for thread crap.. fuggit, soft drift will work fine

A few years back I made a SD components dynamic volume chamber/DSD runt/chickadee etc for my Revelations.
I took my time on everything, except the very last part. The IFP.
I just wanted to get it in the fork to see how it went. The IFP has always been the bit of shame in the back of my mind
FF to a month ago and I started thinking I should finally make a proper IFP for it. Messaged @link1896 (and Dougal) a month ago to ask them what they thought was the best IFP (material, shape etc).
IFP Shame:

Is it metal now? How does the weight of the piston compare? I like the idea of the double seal self-squaring(?) the piston in the bore though.A few years back I made a SD components dynamic volume chamber/DSD runt/chickadee etc for my Revelations.

It's delrin. Would be a little heavier than the original, being a bit bigger, but it is slightly hollow so wouldn't be much in it.
One of the o-rings is the main sealing seal (top one), the bottom groove is slightly smaller so that o-ring is mostly just guiding/keeping the piston square.
I do have some NBR u-cup seals on order that I want to try on a different IFP. It will be similar (to this one), but with the u-cups opposing each other. Upper one sealing the chamber, lower one sealing the positive air spring side.

That makes more sense (the Delrin). In the lathe pic it looks shiny and I wondered if itvwas stainless or something... Love your work and keen to hear how it goes!

Hopefully this cough I've had for near on 4 weeks fucks off in the next day or so and I can test it out.

Thanks for the insight!

Had to hang around at work waiting for the missus to finish at her school, so why not make a topcap. Gramophone finish was the quickest (and trickest looking thing) I could think of to do.
Decided to polished then clear coat it instead of just polishing it like the spacers.
Might have to revisit that decision at a later date.

So, what song does it play when you put the needle on it?

The bore of the chamber is 1.020" (25.91mm).
Those u-cups are 18mm x 26mm x 5mm.
The IFP OD is 1.007" (25.58mm) x about 35mm long.
