No engineers in my family so...
I have been searching the net for the best way to raise my HF 20 ton shop press several inches to get it to a comfortable working height and add some casters at the same time. Square tube, angle iron, rectangular tube... what to do?
A lot of what I have seen looks a bit sketchy to me. Those frames are pretty top heavy.
While doing that I ran across this picture of an adjustable height tray that would come in REAL handy for holding tools and parts instead of trying to balance them on top of the press frame or the platen while you work. One of those 'Now why didn't I think of that!!!???' moments.

Haven't even started the 'lift' project yet, and here I am thinking about the tray project already!
