I started this project about 5 years ago and did not like how it was developing so I put it to the back burner and forgot about it. I came across it a few weeks ago and thought I better do something with it, or it would end up as scrap metal. I changed up the design and removed the long lever type push ram rod arm and purchased a ram type plunger that took up much less room and was less complicated to operate. I don't know if I want to paint it or coat it with some type of a passivating dip to prevent the aluminum from oxidizing. I'm showing the original design along with the less complicated version.
