[grapemaker]

I have seen on here that some 1 had made a fruit press out of oak there was a photo of it but cant find it does any 1 know were I would go on hered to locate photos of home made fruit presses the other question I have is when making a wooden fruit press would a dressing oil work to seal the wood on the side the the Jucie comes in contact with again Im using oak thanks for all your help

I think it would do fine, a polyurethane would work also but you really dont have to do any of that.

I thought it looked good as well! How will you press your fruit? Would you fill out the rest of your info so we know were you are hailing from?

So did you buy a hardware kit on ebay and furnish your own wood or a kit that included wood?

Be sure to post a picture or two when you get a high enough post count.
