🔴 What Is Islam? 🔴 Islam is not just another religion. 🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham. 🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God. 🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone. 🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine. 🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as: 📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4) 📚 🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus. 🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.

Yeah, in the US, cider is the fresh pressed apple juice. Apple juice is the cider after it has been filtered (and usually pasteurized) until clear. Hard cider is fermented apple cider/juice. My father would make his own hard cider by setting a couple gallons of purchased fresh-pressed cider (from a local farm) in the larder with either loose fitting caps or actual wine-maker's airlocks, and wait for the natural yeasts already in the cider to do it's job. As I recall it was mixed results, but usually turned out well.

You're supposed to use a 2x4 on the small wheel to get more leverage when pressing. That's why the small wheel is shaped like that.

White oak would be the preferred lumber for the trays, buckets and press plate anyway. Being almost completely impervious to water it would definitely be a family heirloom for many generations to come. Production presses are usually hard maple but mostly due to cost efficiency.
The small wheel with the 4 tubes on it is shaped like this so you can hook a long wooden stud in between them and use the big leaver to really crank the press down and squeeze all of the juice out.

Steel is iron with added carbon. Often steel has other additives like nickel and niobium (previously called columbium). As for whether your parts are iron or steel you would have to refer to your manufacturer, typically cast parts are iron due to its lower melting point (depending on mixture). If I had to guess based on the application of your parts, I would guess you have a high carbon iron, as a low carbon iron tends to be more brittle. Steel in this application runs the risk of warping over time from the stresses applied. For the joins on an heirloom project like this I would go for dowels. Historically that would be accurate. In early American years square nails, dowels and hand made screws would be the most common joint hardware. Given that dowels are today's only commonly available option that's my recommendation. You may be interested in the benefits of square nails and hand twisted screws. Alternative to these, historically, dovetails and other cut in joins are probably most common.

@@SRG-Learn-Makers from a chemistry standpoint nothing is pure, but effectively pure iron is brittle. It's hard, the break rotors in your car are "pure" iron (to my knowledge anyway) as are a lot of wood burning stoves since it radiates heat well. A lot of iron is purified with silicon, and I'd imagine there's an amount left over in the process. Bear in mind that I'm nothing like an expert.

Trying to remember back to my college days. Cast iron usually contains more than 2% carbon, where as cast steel contains between 0.1-0.5% carbon. There is also a difference in how the carbon is distributed. carbon in cast iron forms rosettes which it doesn’t do in steel. But I could be mistaken as I studied this a very long time ago.

My daughter has been shopping for a makeup vanity (eww, shopping). I was taking her to dance and had one of your videos playing in the background. I didn't know she was watching it until she said she wanted you to build a vanity. Broke my heart she didn't ask me, but at least she has good taste.
I remember as a 8 year old in the 60s, helping my Italian grandfather press the grapes each year for his wine. All by hand and the Press was a huge round concrete pedestal with a heavy bar that you had to insert above your head and you got a half a turn and then you had to pull it out, walk around to the other side and do it all over again. It reminded me of the old Grist Mill in the Western movies with the kid riding the mule around and around. Even after he no longer made wine, just going into the cellar and smelling the fermented residue stirred up great memories. Thanks for posting this and making an old man smile.
Great build and brought back many memories doing this with my family for decades. Interesting using the fly wheel to go on the screw handle. However you might find you could squeeze more cider from the apple pieces if you use a good axe handle between the 4 stubs sticking up on the handle rotate under pressure. Also need to build a nice maple hopper on top of grinder so you can dump in large amount of apples. Thank you for my morning coffee drinking entertainment and nostalgia time!. I am 62 and started making cider since mid 20's so you got this kid!
I love how every project you do is so different. Loved the build
Using Thixo MAY be overkill but we can guarantee it will never, ever, fall apart 😂
The spokes on top of the press screw are for a beam/board to give you leverage while pressing.
Interesting and cool build. You should do a follow-up showing your brewing/fermenting setup
Hey Jason, Chris from Minneapolis here. I sincerely want to thank you. Last night my almost 6 year old daughter, this Friday the 13th is her bday, broke both bones in her forearm. Watching this vid in full gave me a little break from getting the visual of horror in her face out of my mind. She's doing fine now. She seems a little depressed or just in pain but it'll pass with time. So again, a heartfelt thank you so so much Jason. Truly awesome vid btw.
Beautiful build! My father in law has an orchard and we press apples, on a press very similar to yours, every year. We usually save around 15 gallons to make hard cider. Absolutely delicious.

That was the best, most interesting, video I've watched in a long time. I have a 100 year old single barrel apple press in my garage, waiting to be restored. All of the original metal hardware, nuts, and square bolts, are there. All of the wood needs replaced, but enough of it is there for a pattern. I was going to go with white oak though.
My family has been doing this for years with a similar press. It's a great tradition and highlight of our fall. I think this year we made 75 gal.
This went to my all time favorites from you or pretty much any other channels I've seen, very unique idea and I really want to do something similar in future :)
The build is awesome but I'm really nervous about that automatic grinder... without a guard, cap or emergency stop, it's a scary thing to have around kids and people with long hair.
Watching from England. This is an excellent video that demonstrates both your skill and imagination. Just a minor point - cider is the product *after* fermentation with yeast and/or sugar... i.e. alcoholic beverage - otherwise it's just apple juice. Edit... this comment was posted before I read the comments.

Yes, at least how he used it. Titebond 3 is approved by the FDA for “indirect food contact”, which basically means that you shouldn’t use it as a finish but it’s fine for its intended purpose.
Homemade Cider to me (UK viewer) has an abv of 6.5%, and sometimes you remember drinking it. Happy days.
There's so many uses for that good juice. I used to live on a apple farm, my cousins had pear farm. We had presses for the left overs and sold those in gallon containers. It was hard work.
My grandfather had an apple press. Every time I asked about it he said it’s only fun to use the first time. From there, it’s nothing but work and flies! I always wanted to try it. Guess I’ll live vicariously through you, Jason.

My grandfather was a carpenter too. He had pretty weird tools and NEVER used any kind of glue or electric tools or power for his builds. Everything was handmade from trees, not planks, not plywood, he cut the trees himself. Basically we had a grape press made entirely from wood. All the frame, bucked, screw, wheel and even the big barrel to store the juice to make some nice vine were made of wood. I was exploited in child labour to pick up the grapes and bring them to the press, as a reward I drank all the grape juice I wanted and it was delicious.
This is awesome. Exactly the kind of project that makes me want a proper woodshop. ❤
Really enjoyed this video,relaxing too watch and enjoyed the build,very cool press, im impressed.

My family still has an original apple press we used on the farm. The press handle was designed to put a piece of wood in it for leverage. We usally had about a 4ft piece of wood in it. What ever was handy. The mushroom topic the round wheel is what holds the lever in. Love your content and creativity. Thanks!
Love it! When I was a kid, we lived on a property with lots of old apple trees and we rented a similar press every fall. It was hand cranked, and also attracted a ton of wasps. But the juice was amazing. One of my fondest childhood memories.

Extra bonus…mixes great with Jack❤
Nice build. I use a small bar sink and a heavy duty garbage disposal with a plunger. The pulp comes out creamy. I use a heavy cheese cloth for a press liner. After pressing it is dry and dense. I have used your type of chopper but didn't like the chunkiness of the pulp. The better you grind the more juice you get from the pulp.
Absolutely delightful! Enjoy all the juice!
