Apple Cider Press

The Apple Press!

Granddaughter Maya

The apple cart


Cutting the apples into quarters and searching for worms




The grinder chewing up the apple quarters




Once the pail is full, the mesh lining is tied down.




and the top of the pail is covered with a top to screw down with the handle


Squeezing the juice out of the ground apples



The newly configued handle








Some added accesories made by Jim to make the press work more efficiently




and the juice comes out




Bottled and ready to freeze and store.
