How did you get the dowel for the handle to stay put? I see how you sanded down the dowels for the back of the press, but wasn't sure how you got the join with the handle to stay. Did you glue, cut, and sand?
@jeffportercreations82343 жыл бұрын
I didn’t glue the dowel in place. I wanted it to be able to be removed for cleaning, so I sanded the dowel for a tight fit and then the mineral oil helped to make it a bit tighter. It will push out with some force.

Have you had any issues with the glued slabs breaking under the pressure of using it? I've been avoiding a butcher-block style press for that reason. Maybe I'm too cautious?

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).

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
