APPLE AND GRAPE PRESS?

Post by gpwgyrene »

I was wondering if anyone has any ideas for a fruit press using a bottle jack? I have no problem with the frame and the bottle jack-the problem is what to butt the bottom of the bottle jack against and catch the juice-some ideas?

Semper FI! :?:

What a score yesterday. A friend of mine gave me his fathers homemade SS apple grinder and press. It's all motorized. They used to go over to Eastern Washington and get all the apples that had fallen from a friends orchard and load in the back of the truck for making cider. Now I just have to get in with the farmer that gives away the fallen apples :D
