 Tonight we will be talking about how to build and use a Home Built Tincture press.

I had wanted a press for several years but a pre-made one was always out of my price range!

Finally I decided to apply my 'Google-Fu' and search out designs. 

The best design I found was located at: http://practicalprimitive.com/skillofthemonth/tincturepress.html  

I had trouble finding the proper hardware so I decided to make my own version! 

(Surprise, Surprise! Huh? )
