had this for about 9yrs sitting in the garage. i got the mill last week so the wife wants the press done first. its in good order i think it has no name or any numbers on it but needs new wood and the rust taken off because this is something she wants to use. the cast iron is the only thing i dont know how to finish? i know there are paints and such but it will be used for food so id rather have a "natural" finish to it. i was thinking about doing it up like you would season a frying pan. im prety sure all the parts will fit in the oven.
the leg that i kept for a patern kinda hard to see in the picture but really simple
Have used todays version of that press. Do you have a grinder to go with it? I like fresh cider but the trees became a chore to keep and my sister-in-law cut them down. Many moons ago as a kid I remember gathering a trailer load of apples to go to the cider mill. It was water powered, I can remember the wheel, the shafts and flat belts flapping away. They would squeal when the press came up to pressure. I also remember catching a glassful right then and there. Good. Vern

Thought you might enjoy seeing an old compressor that was part of a group of tools I bought awhile back. The compressor is a Curtis 4 1/2" bore X 4 1/2" stroke. The motor is 45 amps at 110 volts! The tank looks like a water tank (bottom is concave) with a riveted seam. Very heavy gauge steel...

I've never seen one of these until my brother and I were fixing one of my old sheds that was built during the Civil War.
We were digging a hole to pour a base and replace a corner post that had rotted when this popped out.
How long has it been since drive in gate pins like this have been made??
