Apples.

These are eating apples going in to storage. 


These are not nice apples that are manky or tasteless. 


This is the first attempt at an apple press to turn them into Apple juice. 



It looked nice but didn't work well.... 
Second attempt...


That is a section of concrete pipe for the drum. It worked better at coping with the incredible pressure required but the frame is not strong enough - you can see the top bar ( hardwood) breaking the fittings.
Attempt three is in the planning stage.

Shame you can't just squash them while walking on them like they do with tomatoes.

Doesn't Lakeland sell some fancy chrome apple press?
