This guy is great ~ thanks for a well done and well described video! Now, how would you like to make me one and I'll pay you for it as I no longer have the patience, sufficient tools or physical strength, due to health related problems, to make one. I really want to juice with this method in the hopes of trying to feel better with proper nutrition.

Amazing!! This is exactly what I was looking for... was just telling my dad there's gotta be a way to make a Welles press for much less than what it cost. Thanks so much!

Absolutely awesome project, well done, and great video to go with it! The polymer technique would have made my day by itself.

These skills should be taught to EVERY student in school. Easily as important as any science or math class and far more practical. To think of all the money we waste buying ridiculous stuff we could make ourselves. And when we make it ourselves we can custom tailor it to our exact needs making it far more valuable to us.

i would totally build one, but i've got more pressing matters

I was planning one out in my head when I decided to see if anyone had already made one. Very nice, easy to understand video instruction. Mine would have been much more expensive as I was thinking I needed steel plates and 5/8" rod. I downsized from a house to a small apartment and no longer have many tools. Also disabled and need to sit to work. But I think I can make something.. "One of these days."

Great concept and execution! I like how approachable this project is. -Caleb Harris

You are a genius...!!! I'll do that...!!! Thanks from Spain.

This it’s the BEST design I’ve seen yet. Thanks for sharing

Fantastic build, I think my wife and kids would love this!

What a great video! Keep uploading, and I think you'll come far :) (also, I want juice now)

I have just discovered your channel, it's awesome. Great projects.

Lindo trabajo... Felicidades a los que tienen la bendición de contar con tan bellas herramientas! Saludos desde Querétaro México

WOW WOW WOW!!! This is SUPERLATIVE, Max

amazing job man...that was exactly what I was looking for...subbed!

I'm glad that you pointed out that you've done metal bending before, because you made it look so easy. Enjoy the video. Probably not going to build one but I enjoyed watching it and will look for more of your videos.

Enjoyed this build quite thoroughly. also very glad to see that I'm not the only one who is Barefoot in their shop from time to time

One of the best video and project I have see on KZfaq.

I can pretty much also use it in extracting avocado oil. Great stuff

Wow you blew my mind. I just googled this and when I started my project you had not made your video. I have a 15 ton Shop press that I have been using for car maintenance in the garage. I wanted an 8 ton but when I had it delivered they delivered a 15 ton (total over kill) I rang the delivery place and they thought I would be using it solely for car maintenance and had no idea that I would be using it for juicing in the future. They thought they were doing me a favor as the 8 ton was out of stock. LOL. Thank you so much for the specs sheet and an awesome awesome awesome video. I pressed juice in it the other day for the first time. The press component was nothing close to your standard and I will have to make version 2 according to your specs with some of your ideas. Yet again thank you!!! Kind Regards Wayne

Took the thoughts right out of my head, excellent video! I was looking into buying a hydraulic juice press but they are so expensive for such a simple concept. Subscribed I'm planning on modifying a gastronorm that I picked up cheaply for the tray and considering fabricating a simple surround for the lower half to cover up the jack and make it a little bit more aesthetically pleasing.

Omg this is amazing I've been researching for hours affordable cold press juices to start raw press juice business in Ghana, Africa! And I found this!!!! Wow! I'm sure I can find handy ppl in Ghana to do this for me next to nothing thank you

This has given me a great idea. Thanks for the video

Thank you for your innovative way of making a it helps those that are starting out in the morning to learn more just by the video that you have presented thank you so much have a great day

BIG WINNER! - but don't forget to include some pulp - for fiber and chewing sense. To do this naturally, takes a vat to squeeze in, and then agitation and pouring - possibly in multiple passes, with addition of a concentrated source of natural Vit C like Ascerola to maintain the strength. Just add Stevia for great taste.

I love your work neat and clean...

This is the best video I have seen on KZfaq thus far, awesome I love it and will make one

You are a genius!!! thanks very much from Mexico, city.

Great Job. I would recommend grinding (smaller shreds) or even s-blade the produce better before pressing for a higher yield. Of course, I personally would rather use a single-step juicer.

Wow Mr Maker! That was great! it really looks like a better design than the store bought. Great joo!

Take the pulp and add it to a food dehydrator to make fruit or vegetable powder. Drying time will be super fast since you’ve removed the liquid and it will easily be powdered in any grinder.

You are a genius guy. More power. You can sell this and I will buy them. Thanks for this video.

Top class video. It is videos like this that be the end of terrestrial television. Well done fella.

this is amazing - thank you!

I love this and would work well with a cheap juicer where the pulp is still very wet. It can get the rest of the juice out. I would buy a commercially made one ASAP!

Great job dude, that was awesome!

Hi, would you mind making a list about everything I would need to do this?

great video! What is the moldable plastic called? I couldnt find it. thank you!

Superb idea, Great, well-done, 👍

GREAT JOB MAX! NICE! THANK YOU! Instructables.com right? thanks. I forgot to tell you....I subscribed. I've been looking for a channel like this one. Even if I don't have the place to tinker, the sheer joy of seeing someone else do DIY projects like this one is great fun. Thanks!

Max, you are the man. This is one very satisfying vid. The ones you buy these days are annoyingly loud, becomes a real mission to clean and break down after a few months of use. Yours is the best so far. But I wonder how it would work getting juice of the white of coconut. Very nice and useful vid.

Cool project! Thanks for sharing!

Super idea. Super video 👍

Please I want to know if it's possible to get an hydraulic press for extracting only citrus i.e orange. I'm having difficulties using manual extractor to press half of oranges . I get very tired and it's time consuming.

Un friking believable wow just wow amazing man thank u so much

Great job

I will make one of this however I will be using a 3 ton screw jack. Great job

Really well build. Great!

Can you crush corn kernels? If I can get them smaller, I can run them through a grain mill that has an opening too small for the undamaged kernels (or so I've read; I haven't bought the mill yet).

I was thinking about making one of these recently and here you are making one. Now I don't have to do anymore thinking but follow your design. however I want to make the plate a big bigger so I can put a larger sized batch in there. one thing you can do which they do with these two step juicers you pay 2000 dollars for is put more than one wrapped bag in at a time so you can juice more at once. good job and thanks for the excellent video.

incredible work

Is the jack fixed in place ? Is so how do you keep it in place thx

Great video, great design!

Brilliant!

Simply awesome!

Nice build! The only thing I would have changed would have been to fit a hose bib handle with a rod to the open close valve of the hydraulic jack since I think it would last longer and allow more of a turning angle. Also it might help to make the plastic press plate slightly concave to help keep the material from squeezing out the sides. Great job and very useful.

Hello! Thanks for the video!! Will this jucier work well with Wheatgrass? Thanks a lot!

Great project! I have a question, how much bigger can you make your metal tray to be able to have more surface are? And can the hydraulic work just as good with more fruit?

Hi Max, fantastic instructions and project. Do you know where in Berlin I could buy the polymer granules?

Ok I'm in. Subscribed

I came to the same conclusion as you did !! Good job

Great project! I can only find an 8 tonne hydraulic jack in my area, which is still cheap as chips, however do you think this could produce too much pressure for the structure to handle? thanks

Hi, is there an alternative material I can use for the plywood parts? All the plywood I’ve found is so expensive, I’ve never done a project like this before so idk how much wood is meant to cost but it seems like a lot, also what kind of glue is used to put them together?

Thank you so much.

Wow, this is very impressive! I really like it how you come up with your own projects based on that you need at home! Make more videos for sure ;)

Not sure why this video was recommended to me but super glad it was!

Very usefull and helpfull video. Keep them comming.

I love it very good idea thank

Thank you very much.

you're my hero

Take some wood shavings and rub them into your excess glue, then rub away. Makes sanding down the bits of glue left over a whole lot easier, too.

You should create cold press for oil 😎 great vid btw!

Nice diy

I really enjoyed this! Were you limited by the tools you had available or was it a conscious decision to take the route you did? I'd love to see a re-make with unlimited tools! Keep up the good work.

Anyone know where I can just buy one of these?

Glad can I found this

what can I use to make a coconut coir machine? I want it to be able to produce coir duct from coconut husk. Also how can I make an electronic greater for coconut and how can I make a shredder for fruits and vegetables?

vegetables grinder chopper.. which 1 is best ?? For mini Commercial use.

Get a nylon nut bag and it will last a lot longer and is easier to clean. I use a 6 ton bench press and a food grinder to make our juice. Thanks for the awesome tips!

Wow, great job!

Hello, Please, could you send me the link from where I could get the cheese cloth, as I found in the internet but not the same type used in your video.

What food processor did you use?

I like this machine. I want to make one of those for pomegranate juice.❤

What length did you cut the rods to?

Thanks for the vide & instructions. I will make one to press my own olive oil.

Thx for the great instruction! does this also work for wheatgrass?

What about when u are making juice blends example watermelon spinach orange or pineapple or something how do u work out the quantities for consistent taste. Please advise thanks

hey, you should make a good grinder too one that can really shread the stuff good :D awesome thing you built today my friend

schönes projekt, ich hab zufällig noch nen wagenheber übrig :)

Exelent video!!!

good job

Can this be used as a oil cold press

I like your product. How /Where can I buy one Thanks

You are a genius .Great

Nice build. If the food-processor you use is high speed, it causes cavitation that causes high heat that destroys enzymes in the food, best to use a slow blender.

Hey Max I have a few questions. 1. How did you mount the jack to the bottom plate? 2. I couldn't find the right kind of flange to fit the car jack (I bought the jack linked in your instructable). Could you post a link to where I could order one? 3. I also could not find the steel plate that goes under the flange. Could you post a link to where I could order one?

Hey max. I can't find any 38 mm baltic birch plywood at any of the lumber yards where I live. Could you give me some advice on where I could find some or suggest some alternative? Thank you

I have particle board on hand. Do you think that is strong enough?

thanks bro!

more info on the polymer technique??
