    How did you make your tortilla press?

      Scrap 2x4s, a large bolt, a dowel, some deck screws, a little glue, table saw, bandsaw, jig saw, drill press, drill

      I can’t attach a picture without a 403 error.

        Are you the guy that made a tortilla press for his 3yr old? I saw this on Imgur and it made my day imgur.com link.

        I had no idea homemade tortilla presses were a thing, but I guess they had to come from somewhere before mass production

          Not me. I can’t have kids because I understand that tortilla presses in the hands of a 3 year old becomes a finger crusher and if a kid isn’t old enough to make a tortilla press they aren’t old enough to use one. Age 6 is the right age for working with power tools.

          I’m only half joking. My wife got herself fixed at 24 and and I got myself fixed at 40 because we both know that we both knew neither of us should ever have kids.

          If I hadn’t snapped my cast iron one I wouldn’t have made my own. Cast iron isn’t supposed to do that. I made the second one to better and I accidentally had 6 beers worth of time to burn.

        Nice! Great job!

        ETA- you should share that on the woodworking community.

          I’ve got stuff I’d love to post there and to cooking groups but these pesky 403 errors get in the way.
