Hello everybody....


I decided I wanted to make a press instead of buying one. So here is what I ended up with. Its almost done. (I did not make the barrels)

i am very impressed....and if you said you did the barrels i was going to place an order:)
 
Good job there goodfella

I'm making one too so I'll post mine when done also. You do have some good ideas.

What are the dimensions and what are you using for a press plate? It was suggested that I use a white plastic 'cutting board' for the material as it is very strong and food grade too.

Looks great.

I just used a solid peice of oak. I cut it round. I then attached a peice for the threaded bar to push against so it would not be metal on wood. I will post a picture soon because I dont know how to describe it.
