I just finished this press and took some pictures while it is still nice and clean. Back when I lived in NJ my buddy Thad told me if I could design one, he could weld it up - and we did just that. Thad welded up two of them, one for him, one for me. I moved it to Wisconsin where it sat for a year and a half and I just moved it out to the new shop and got it going. Turned out really good and it provided a solid mount for my blacksmith vise as well. This is a 5HP unit - 2 stage pump and very much based on Batson's book.
Here are some pics:
