  • I made this Fruit press for around $3 I had most of this stuff laying around. This fruit press works quite well for being made from a car jack and some scrap lumber.

      Honestly, I wish I could take credit for the concept. I got it from a TikToker. I would have given them credit except I don't remember who it was. It is awesome though. Thanks for the comment.

    Why didn't I think of that. Looks like it will work great.

      I think it is certainly worth the cost.

    And this boys and girls, is the reason Windsong can never find her 5 gallon buckets 😜

    Jigsaw would be a nice tool to have

      For sure. I do have one, but couldn't find it the day of. I worked with what I had, lol.

    Looks good. The only issue I can see is that there "might" be a problem over time (or pressing something hard) with the top board coming off. The only reason I say that is because anything nailed, or screwed into end grain is inherently weak. Just my speculation. Perhaps a couple of angle brackets over the 2 pieces would negate any potential problems?
    Gonna keep this design in mind for next year....thanks!

      I agree with your assessment. I will probably add some plywood gussets for some extra strength.

    Nice job! Great background music too.

    it could also work with a mash in your mash bag. Put your bag with your mash in your press an squeeze it out

    This is a great idea compared to the commercial presses.
    Can I get the material list?

    Like it! Think it might work for finely chopped apples?

    • @StillnTheClear
      @StillnTheClear  8 месяцев назад +1

      I haven't tried apples yet, but I imagine it will work. Possibly not as well as a commercially produced press though.

    @brianbirmingham1458 8 месяцев назад +1

    Did you drill holes in bottom and sides I couldn’t see that well

    • @StillnTheClear
      @StillnTheClear  8 месяцев назад +2

      I only drilled holes in the sides.

    Didn’t see any follow up to this how has it held up? What have you used it on? Are there any things that you would change to the design?

    • @StillnTheClear
      @StillnTheClear  18 дней назад +1

      I have pressed fruit and grains with this and it has held up well. I can't think of any changes I would make at this time. Thanks for the comment.

    Hey buddy will this hold up to apple's

    • @StillnTheClear
      @StillnTheClear  8 месяцев назад

      I've not tried apples yet, but I assume it would to some degree. I don't think this will be as robust as a commercially produced press.

    Hahaha, the sound is meh, the video quality so so. The materials used... Hey, if you got them and it works? Who gives a flying fart. Put it all together and it's some fantastic RUclips content. Love it!

    • @StillnTheClear
      @StillnTheClear  8 месяцев назад +2

      Thank you, I'm glad you like it.

      Hey, I just hate people thinking in problems. Love people thinking in solutions.
