here is what it will be. the press will sit in the rails and this will allow the press to move around the shop.

here it is under the press. what a difference it is to push the press and have it move vrs getting the 2 wheel cart lean the pres back and watch the feet and roll around the garage.

here is the front side of the press. my only complaint was i was too cheap and did not get casters with locks, but that is ok i made some small roller chalks. This is still a good project. I starting to trust and like my welds. I learned the speed and heat range on the welder and now not so afraid of it.
