Cider Press

I have been allowed by my neighbor (Steve Harrison) to help myself to apples from his tree. This lead me to the idea of a cider press. I was raised for part of my childhood in Somerset and frequently cycled to the local cider farm for a gallon of scrumpy. So here it starts!

A nice big slab of Oak and a couple of chunks of Chestnut should do it.

This slab of Oak is over 10 years seasoned and the Chestnut is about 4 years.

So off to the sawmill they go........
The Oak is back from the sawmill... Good this timelaps is'nt it

This little slab will be doing the pressing.

Popped in to pick up some apples tonight...

And that made me realise i needed to get a wiggle on.
