Yes, directed towards the Bonny Doon kit for nearly $3600. With the 2 vertical members so close together I think it would be very limited as far as automotive use goes……. but maybe OK for jewelry. Also even though the ultimate pressure would be higher, hand pumping a bottle jack is slow compared what you could do by hand with a arbor press. ~ John Buchtenkirch
P.S. Below is some stainless ducting for the Osprey I trued up in a hydraulic press. I powered the ram with a 2 speed log splitter pump. It ran fast till it had a load on it, then slowed as the pressure increased. Worked out surprisingly well for the job.
