🔴 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.

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.

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!.

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. A lot of foundry research for various projects but this is what I've learned.

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.

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.

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.

This was kind of nostalgic, for me. Years ago, my dad made one of these. Being a horse & buggy Mennonite, he had no access to the internet, so he cobbled together some bits of discarded farm equipment, and made something surprisingly similar. But, for the press, he had a honking big handle that he could get both arms on to crank down on the apple much. For the "apple eater" he concocted a wooden drum, and but screws into it, with the countersink heads protruding about half inch. His hopper above it was quite a bit larger, so he could dump a bushel of apples into it then tease them down the hatch to be pulped. Eventually, being an old man is his 70s, he grew tired of the crank, and re-engineered the press to accept a small hydraulic bottle jack, with two springs beside it that would suck the jack cylinder back up after the press was done. The pulp he discarded was remarkably dry; the extra ommph from that 2-ton jack was considerable. 🙂 Dad has long since passed on, but someone else acquired that contraption... You make me curious if it still gets pressed into service today... He, he, "pressed" ;-)

Have seen stainless steel hex bolts used for your dad's screws. What about stainless flat head screws?

I would have stuck with dowels for most of it and kept with a single wood type so it would expand at the same rate when wet. Also the press part the crank handles are made that way so you can use a pole (or 2x4) to get exta leverage for the final part of pressing. You left quite a bit of juce in the apple behind. I'd say you need a chute for the grinder too, keep those fingers safe and less splattering.
