Shop press plans

Looking for plans to build a shop press using a 20 ton bottle jack

I don't have any plans, but I built this one from 8" channel iron and plate. I used a couple pictures I took of one a friend had in his shop. Mine uses either a 12 ton or 20 ton hydraulic jack. His had a hydraulic ram with remote reservoir and hand pump.

Search on the web. Not here. I use https://duckduckgo.com/ as my search engine. Got lots of links to both plans and videos.
