You just know the shop teacher hated those two.
The hammers was crazy. Wanna get my own press to pack clothes and make coffee

Pretty cool. I like the way the ballistics sort of ooze out from between the platen and the ram.
I guess with that many You Tube views you can afford a huge press and a concrete bunker to put it in!

The ammo was cool, but what is weird is that I've tried whacking primers, percussion caps and musket caps with a hammer on a solid surface and I've never gotten one to pop

I didn't watch this whole vid to see if they did this, but I'm always amazed at the strength of a prince Ruperts drop vs a hydraulic press:

When I was a kid we used to put .303 ammo on the railway line. We were a bit disappointed it didn't go off.
