Thank you very much! I make them to sell, so let me know if you’d like to talk about having one made 🙂

Jeff Porter Creations what is the priced for each? Have you used them yourself? Is there a video where we can see the how the press works? Thank you

C N I sold the one in the 1st video for 90 and am asking 125 for the walnut and maple one. I haven’t used these yet, but wouldn’t mind doing so to make a video showing how it works. Thanks for the idea, I’ll make that my next video 👍👏🙂

Hi Bob, thanks for the critique! Yeah I know Im lacking on some information. I'm still getting my feet wet with the filming part. One of the many little details I left out was that after the mineral oil dries, I do put some clear rubber feet on them. Please let me know if I can help or answer any questions that I didn't address in the video.

Along those lines, how was the handle connected? Also, it seemed that you put the glue on the surface of the wood instead of in between. Do I have that right? What was the reason for this? Sorry for all the newbie questions

​@@dkroen17The wood was roared 90 degrees to match the glue surfaces up.

Thank you and the pool guy does a great job too 😜

Thank you Jose!

Wow me too,, I’m honored for sure!! Thanks so much for the kind words. I hope you enjoyed Making your press and would love to see it if you want to share it..

Muchas gracias!!

Sanjay Pable thanks a lot 🙂

Muchas gracias

Thank you very much! Yes, Im no pro at making videos for sure 😂. I used screws and glue for the lever base then covered them with plugs. I used a dowel with no glue and sanded to fit to fasten the handle. Wanted to be able to remove and replace in case the lever gave out.

Thanks, I really just winged the project. I did measure a tortilla for thickness and diameter, but everything else was on the fly. I’m going to do another tortilla press video and shows and give more information. I haven’t made many videos so still learning.

anwer khan Thank you. I use two mineral oils, the second one has bees wax to help with shine.

I can make one for you that will smash a 10” tortilla. Just let me know, and we can talk about it.

@@jeffportercreations8234 I would love that . do you have an email address?

Hi John, thank you so much for the compliment, and yes by all means please make one like mine. I hope you’ll share photo or video when your done. Best of luck and holler if you have questions.

@@tacowheeler2200 thank you will be making one, and thank you for letting me use your design. Take care

You’re in luck, when I made my “200 subscriber video give away (how to do it)” , I made a tortilla at the end. If you wanna fast forward to it, go to the 20:00 mark. I didn’t make a real dough mix but it worked for the demo. Let me know what you think. It was my first one ever.

Thank you so much, means a lot! I struggle with my shop space being outside and can’t wait till I can get it all inside some day.

I used a micrometer to measure a corn tortilla and it was almost 1/8” thick. So that’s what I went with.

You can commission him to create one for you if you message him on Instagram @jeffportercreations

Thanks a lot Vince!

Thanks a lot! Yes I’m happy with it. It’s really easy and simple to use. Also very consistent

Thank you! I don't have any plans to sell, I just keep it in my head. Im happy to help you though however I can. I'm also willing to draw a set if you'd like to purchase it, or we can have a conversation so I can explain how I did it.

Yes, you can just use flour so it won’t stick

Thank you very much! I call that a Dog Legged Chisel and it has a scalloped bevel. I like the dog legged handle for skating over surfaces.

@@jeffportercreations8234 So awesome I had same question also still reading comments but great music too!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Totally agree, definitely is a stonger joint. I had already done that and wanted to try this out. It worked great and smashed up some perfect tortillas.

Walnut and hard rock maple

Frank Vergeretti that’s correct, only Titebond III waterproof glue.

I love Juniper!

Thanks for the helpful critique Brian! So far nobody has reported any damage. This is the one that I still think about though. I ran the glue joints 90 degrees to what I normally do. So far so good. You know the saying that “the glue joint is stronger than the wood” (as long as the joint is good).

@@jeffportercreations8234 ya, I think I'll build it running the other way. I've had those kind of joints fail occasionally, leaving a shred of wood that broke off where the glue was in fact stronger. :)

@@rbrianlindahl5499 post a photo when you get it done

I originally thought the same thing too, but now I’ve gone down a massive tortilla-themed rabbit hole, and the one thing that keeps coming up is how little pressure it actually takes to flatten the tortilla. I think I always got thrown because of all the cast iron ones (because why would they make them so heavy duty if it isn’t needed), but in the bon appetit video where Brad goes to a place that make their own all day every day, you can see how little pressure is needed (and how easy it is to use too much pressure). Now I’m thinking I can go back to my plans for a jointed wooden one, and the fear of destroying my creation can be the thing that stops me from pressing too much :P

@@natmickan Yeah it's not much pressure at all. I would love to see it, if you have the chance to film it or take photos after you make it.

Jon Teske maple and Walnut

Beautiful choice, I love the juxtaposition of the contrasting colors and grains. I’m in the middle of a rolling butcher block counter top project using hard maple, walnut and mahogany. I’m using a contrasting and repeating pattern that breaks up the walnut/mahogany with the maple strips. I’m really looking forward to seeing everything pop when I hit it with the mineral oil.

Jon Teske that sounds really cool, I love that combo and have used it myself. I’d love to se that when it’s finished!

Lots of time spent on sanding and applying the finish on the video. Why is that? The hinges could have been installed between the boards for a much more cleaner look.with

I have no clue what that says or what language it is 😉

Uso aceite mineral porque es apto para alimentos

I use a 1/2” dowel and give it a snug fit, but can still be pushed out if needed. For the hole, I slip the handle in between the uprights, clamp it and drill it. I kind of set it up like its going to be, and make sure it looks right, then go for it. Hope that helps

@@jeffportercreations8234 Thank's for the reply, I am making one out of oak , I am still not sure how I am going to attach the uprights and handle but I am thinking dowel and glue also. You're press looks Great. Thank's Again

@@H43339 I use two recessed 2-1/2” screws and glue and then hide then with dowel plugs

@@jeffportercreations8234 Thought about that but I ended up using 1/4" dowel and glue. I was wondering what brand glue have you had the best Luck with ? I bought Titebond lll Hope it will be strong enough.

@@jeffportercreations8234 I just watched your video again, looks like you used Titebond ll. I am hoping Titebond lll, will be strong enough. I read the fine print says not structural.

Sean Johnson your eight Sean, thank you. This one is 11W x 14L. I’ll remember to do that on my next video

The old seals the wood and keeps it from drying out and cracking. I use mineral oil because its food safe.

Jeff Porter Creations Thank you! Great Job by the way, I’m learning about wood and the great jobs we can do 😊

Do you make custom wood pieces?

Moor Than Enough yes I do. I have an Instagram page with a lot of my woodwork- jeffportercreations

@@jeffportercreations8234 I do not have an Instagram page. Do you mind sharing your email?

@@MFBEY_ Do you have a Facebook account? I also have my stuff up on Facebook at Jeff Porter Creations

How much do you sell them for a have a very old one passed down from great great grandmother I keep it up . But I think it’s up to put it away and get a new one

I’d love to show you, but I sold that press. Since you said that, it got me thinking about making another one and showing how to use it. As soon as I finish up a few projects in front of me, I’ll make that video. Thanks for bringing that up!

@@jeffportercreations8234 Thanks just any simulation on how it works how much pressure needed etc

Thank you so much!! Let me price the wood and get back to you. It may take me a couple days to reach back to you, but I’ll be back. Thanks again.

I forgot to ask what size you are looking for…

Puedo hacerte uno. Los precios de la madera son bastante altos en este momento, por lo que costaría 250 dólares. Espero que el precio de la madera vuelva a la normalidad

Yes, and they are custom made

I’d love to build one for you. Do you want the same look, same wood? Let me know and Ill check cost and get back to you

Yes

@@jeffportercreations8234 okay what would be the price on a 16” X 16” ? And how can I place the order?

@@Joelwilly57 depends on how I make it. Do you want mixed hardwoods? One like this at 16” would run 200-250, but I could make it less expensive by using less expensive wood. I just heard about lumber going up a ridiculous amount (like $9 for. 2x4) so I would need to verify that to be sure.

@@Joelwilly57 I just saw how lumber is a lot more expensive right now. Ridiculous!! I would have to check on whatever your interested in to be accurate. Just wanted you to know.

@@Joelwilly57 one more thing- you can try to win one tomorrow. Just subscribe and comment “I want the tortilla press” in the Give Away #2 video comment section. I’ll announce the winner at 8:pm.

Yes, they all work really well. One of the other tortilla press videos shows me using it to test it out. Can’t remember which one…

Check the video titled 200 subscriber give away (how to do it) I make a couple test tortillas.
