Finally got the Cider press built and ready to go. Put it on the truck and took it to my daughter's house where they have all the the apples ready to make cider this weekend. I bought this old cider press at an auction cheap because the wood was totally shot. third picture is of the grinder just a 6 inch wooden drum with nails driven in it to grind the apples I put a 1/2" drill on the shaft and it grinds the apples real fine.

The wooden disc is placed on top of the pumice to spread the pressure from the screw. Pic 6 shows the bottom of the steel channel iron frame which is part of the press I bought.
