If my customer asked me to foing I'd tell him where to get off. 
Have you got the ram and pump that's going to power it ? Show more

Shame as I am thinking of doing something like this to a gigantic I beam I picked up.
But I was going to ask what the strongest method for connecting the join top and bottom might be, hence the duplicate right angle in the picture. I also wanted to pick your brains over the type of ram that might be suitable for a forging press.

My log splitter looks exactly like that but with a blade on the white bit. I joined the same way as the left picture because it was easier,more weld area and less chance of twist. I've had loads of times where not being restricted by the frame would have been a benefit especially on suspension arms so that should work well. The biggest issue I see is twist under load, it's amazing how much an I-beam can twisted given how strong they are. My beam is smaller than yours though

Dimensions required or stronger centre web maybe
Screwdriver, Think I would do as Seadog says and plate the ends of the upright but I would also then bolt this to the top horizontal member that holds the ram as it will be one mighty lump to move otherwise. Likewise, I would plate and bolt the upright to the base. This would then be just like a structural beam connection. I would also turn the base steel through 90 degrees to give you a bit of stability and / or perhaps increase the number of these. Looks like an interesting project.

Unless you only have single use in mind, that design looks very restrictive as to what would fit on the tableShame as I am thinking of doing something like this to a gigantic I beam I picked up.

Yes of course. All that is so far is a sketch to see how much I beam I need to chop off and what size hydraulic ram would fit. I then wonder out loud the best/strongest way to cut and weld it. No one is suggesting a 45 degree cut is preferred which is great because its a difficult cut for me and I end up with two 45's.
The bottom bracket needs to be just as strong as the top so I might as well mirror it but the base can be extended to allow larger items, Hunton bolster etc. Then depending on the height of course, it also needs legs.
I should probably start a thread for this build assuming I ever get around to it.

I'd like to build one but at the minute I'm garageless, got hydraulic ram and pump stored away, always good to see other people's ideas
