This guy is great ~ thanks for a well done and well described video! Now, how would you like to make me one and I'll pay you for it as I no longer have the patience, sufficient tools or physical strength, due to health related problems, to make one. I really want to juice with this method in the hopes of trying to feel better with proper nutrition.

[@MaxMakerChannel]

I am selling these for 300$ plus shipping.

[@d_vrdlovec8724]

pleasse message me the details

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Sorry. Sold out.

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Yep

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Just build one. Pineapple is easy to juice.

[@OlinaDey]

Amazing!! This is exactly what I was looking for... was just telling my dad there's gotta be a way to make a Welles press for much less than what it cost. Thanks so much!

[@bobhoskins9595]

These skills should be taught to EVERY student in school. Easily as important as any science or math class and far more practical. To think of all the money we waste buying ridiculous stuff we could make ourselves. And when we make it ourselves we can custom tailor it to our exact needs making it far more valuable to us.

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Thanks for your kind words!

[@aminaa5824]

I actually did something like this in school! I forget the name of the subject but it was one of the ones in the art department, a chosen class obviously but still, they do teach it

[@jamesdonnelly8888]

Absolutely awesome project, well done, and great video to go with it! The polymer technique would have made my day by itself.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Great concept and execution! I like how approachable this project is. -Caleb Harris

[@MaxMakerChannel]

+YouCanMake Thank you!

Lindo trabajo... Felicidades a los que tienen la bendición de contar con tan bellas herramientas! Saludos desde Querétaro México

[@pfa1963]

I'm glad that you pointed out that you've done metal bending before, because you made it look so easy. Enjoy the video. Probably not going to build one but I enjoyed watching it and will look for more of your videos.

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Thank you very much! I actually wanted to get the oposite across. Bending sheet metal with the proper equipment is a piece of cake. But, the equipment should not stop one from doing awesome things!

[@NEJOHN411]

I was planning one out in my head when I decided to see if anyone had already made one. Very nice, easy to understand video instruction. Mine would have been much more expensive as I was thinking I needed steel plates and 5/8" rod. I downsized from a house to a small apartment and no longer have many tools. Also disabled and need to sit to work. But I think I can make something.. "One of these days."

[@lucius215]

i would totally build one, but i've got more pressing matters

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Well punned my friend.

You should write for 'How It's Made'.

[@muneer24]

You must be under a lot of pressure.

[@lindsaydaniels998]

@@muneer24 Its cold and hard pressed

[@greenwaynegreen1]

Wow you blew my mind. I just googled this and when I started my project you had not made your video. I have a 15 ton Shop press that I have been using for car maintenance in the garage. I wanted an 8 ton but when I had it delivered they delivered a 15 ton (total over kill) I rang the delivery place and they thought I would be using it solely for car maintenance and had no idea that I would be using it for juicing in the future. They thought they were doing me a favor as the 8 ton was out of stock. LOL. Thank you so much for the specs sheet and an awesome awesome awesome video. I pressed juice in it the other day for the first time. The press component was nothing close to your standard and I will have to make version 2 according to your specs with some of your ideas. Yet again thank you!!! Kind Regards Wayne

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Wow. With 16 tons you can squeeze a huge area! Make it bigger if you can. That way you get more produce in a flatter fabric bundle. Reduces the load on the filter fabric and saves you from doing multiple presses.

[@Flowsalvador]

You are a genius...!!! I'll do that...!!! Thanks from Spain.

[@Nerdforge]

What a great video! Keep uploading, and I think you'll come far :) (also, I want juice now)

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Thank you! I really hope so. It can really be a drag sometimes.

[@westwaywestway8961]

Omg this is amazing I've been researching for hours affordable cold press juices to start raw press juice business in Ghana, Africa! And I found this!!!! Wow! I'm sure I can find handy ppl in Ghana to do this for me next to nothing thank you

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Hey, if that would work out for you, that would be absolutley amazing! Please let me know if anything happens, or even send me a video of your progress from time to time! I might do an update video sometime!

[@westwaywestway8961]

Thank you! Will do

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Sure. Its 300€ plus shipping, but you have to pay any duties.

[@darkmind989]

Enjoyed this build quite thoroughly. also very glad to see that I'm not the only one who is Barefoot in their shop from time to time

[@MaxMakerChannel]

+darkmind989 I am glad you liked it. I should have worn my safety boots, but the toes wanted fresh air that day.

[@aswartha007]

One of the best video and project I have see on KZbin.

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Thanks!

[@nangamsosongca6481]

I can pretty much also use it in extracting avocado oil. Great stuff

[@DivineMisterAdVentures]

BIG WINNER! - but don't forget to include some pulp - for fiber and chewing sense. To do this naturally, takes a vat to squeeze in, and then agitation and pouring - possibly in multiple passes, with addition of a concentrated source of natural Vit C like Ascerola to maintain the strength. Just add Stevia for great taste.

[@theldmleo33]

You are a genius!!! thanks very much from Mexico, city.

[@RinconingenierilEsp]

I have just discovered your channel, it's awesome. Great projects.

[@MaxMakerChannel]

+RincónIngenieril Thank you very much! I try my very best to make good content.

[@manutd4europe]

Took the thoughts right out of my head, excellent video! I was looking into buying a hydraulic juice press but they are so expensive for such a simple concept. Subscribed I'm planning on modifying a gastronorm that I picked up cheaply for the tray and considering fabricating a simple surround for the lower half to cover up the jack and make it a little bit more aesthetically pleasing.

[@MaxMakerChannel]

+Dave F Thats a great idea! Good luck and please send pictures when done!

[@patriciabrown2985]

I love your work neat and clean...

[@denverjnpierre7228]

[@tayonacummings]

Top class video. It is videos like this that be the end of terrestrial television. Well done fella.

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Thanks!

[@discountjuicers]

Great Job. I would recommend grinding (smaller shreds) or even s-blade the produce better before pressing for a higher yield. Of course, I personally would rather use a single-step juicer.

[@MaxMakerChannel]

+DiscountJuicers.com You are right. I actually started doing that soon after.

[@ManojKumar-un4fp]

Superb idea, Great, well-done, 👍

[@rosealcidobeauty2133]

You are a genius guy. More power. You can sell this and I will buy them. Thanks for this video.

[@kkmedakk]

Take the pulp and add it to a food dehydrator to make fruit or vegetable powder. Drying time will be super fast since you’ve removed the liquid and it will easily be powdered in any grinder.

[@2020Ibrahim]

Un friking believable wow just wow amazing man thank u so much

[@ddskimmer]

GREAT JOB MAX! NICE! THANK YOU! Instructables.com right? thanks. I forgot to tell you....I subscribed. I've been looking for a channel like this one. Even if I don't have the place to tinker, the sheer joy of seeing someone else do DIY projects like this one is great fun. Thanks!

[@MaxMakerChannel]

+ddskimmer Your welcome!

[@logus0079]

Max, you are the man. This is one very satisfying vid. The ones you buy these days are annoyingly loud, becomes a real mission to clean and break down after a few months of use. Yours is the best so far. But I wonder how it would work getting juice of the white of coconut. Very nice and useful vid.

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Thank you Logus! If you search for coconut juicer, there are a few homemade presses. Mainly from asian countries.

[@alignmentsixtrading4200]

I love this and would work well with a cheap juicer where the pulp is still very wet. It can get the rest of the juice out. I would buy a commercially made one ASAP!

[@semkimpbell5466]

[@kusnezoff8705]

I was thinking about making one of these recently and here you are making one. Now I don't have to do anymore thinking but follow your design. however I want to make the plate a big bigger so I can put a larger sized batch in there. one thing you can do which they do with these two step juicers you pay 2000 dollars for is put more than one wrapped bag in at a time so you can juice more at once. good job and thanks for the excellent video.

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Good luck with the build!

You should create cold press for oil 😎 great vid btw!

[@eliasxi]

Thanks for the vide & instructions. I will make one to press my own olive oil.

[@MaxMakerChannel]

+Elias Ximenez Cool! Where do you live that you can grow olives?

[@eliasxi]

I live in a village in the south of Spain. Surrounded by olive trees, lemons, oranges and many other fruits. I am also finishing a desgidrator box. Fruit here is plentiful and cheap. So I will also be draying anything I can gen my hand on. The heat exchange bix I have made increase the temperature up to 80ºC, but I will only need 55ºC.

[@kirrilian]

Get a nylon nut bag and it will last a lot longer and is easier to clean. I use a 6 ton bench press and a food grinder to make our juice. Thanks for the awesome tips!

[@andrewparry1474]

Hmmm I'm horrified at using anything but natural fibres in food. Especially with the kind of pressure in this

[@bobhoskins9595]

The parts: Threaded rod and the top and bottom wood plates are easy to get locally. Even the jack is available in many hardware stores. What is needed is the pans. That is something not available that you used tools to make that most people don't have and don't have the work area to do it even if they had the tools. I have to comment on your voice and attitude. Its very unique. Its positive of course but its also so much more. It sounds engenius. People get inspired by voices like yours. You should teach courses. Your voice and attitude is gold. Its positive without sounding unrealistic. Its just the perfect balance. I believe you would connect with the masses like very few others.

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Thanks. I think about it.

[@Elementaldomain]

I think I could make this with a stainless steel steam pan they sell from restaurant supply sites. Ebay and Amazon also sells them, they come in all sizes. I will drill a hole in the front and attach a length of plastic tubing that can go directly into a container.

[@stiaininbeglan3844]

Take some wood shavings and rub them into your excess glue, then rub away. Makes sanding down the bits of glue left over a whole lot easier, too.

[@AP-qc9ih]

you're my hero

[@Nakien]

hey, you should make a good grinder too one that can really shread the stuff good :D awesome thing you built today my friend

[@Maradnus]

you can buy a cheap unbranded one and it will do the job.

[@theroboticscodedepot7736]

Nice build! The only thing I would have changed would have been to fit a hose bib handle with a rod to the open close valve of the hydraulic jack since I think it would last longer and allow more of a turning angle. Also it might help to make the plastic press plate slightly concave to help keep the material from squeezing out the sides. Great job and very useful.

[@MaxMakerChannel]

+The Robotics Code Depot Thanks! How would you male the plastic concave?

[@theroboticscodedepot7736]

Best way would be to use a CNC router if you have access to one. But just slightly concave otherwise the center stuff would not get compressed as much.

[@luckyduckydrivingschool3615]

Wow, great job!

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Thanks for watching!

[@GaryMcKinnonUFO]

Nice build. If the food-processor you use is high speed, it causes cavitation that causes high heat that destroys enzymes in the food, best to use a slow blender.

[@miriapaolini1078]

[@MaltandMake]

I really enjoyed this! Were you limited by the tools you had available or was it a conscious decision to take the route you did? I'd love to see a re-make with unlimited tools! Keep up the good work.

[@MaxMakerChannel]

+Malt & Make Thank you! Normally I would just CNC everything, but for this I thought I keep it simple so more people can drink something healthy. Vegetable juice is not perfect but certainly better than a lot of other breakfasts.

[@lindsaydaniels998]

Great job Max Maker. Inspiring stuff. I wonder if the folks at Gerson would approve this :) It's drastically more affordable than a PURE or Norwalk juicer.

[@MaxMakerChannel]

All the best for your Dad!

[@falsehoodbasher7240]

It’s approved with Champion grinder

[@viktorjarm6878]

Wow, this is very impressive! I really like it how you come up with your own projects based on that you need at home! Make more videos for sure ;)

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Thank you! I was working on the upcoming video this afternoon. Stay tuned!

[@RichardJucewicz]

Thx for the great instruction! does this also work for wheatgrass?

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Yes definitely. But it tastes bad : D

[@luluhoang8392]

You are very handy. I need someone like you in my house:)

[@MaxMakerChannel]

+Lulu Hoang A lot of people do. : )

[@pablokraemer1705]

Hello! Thanks for the video!! Will this jucier work well with Wheatgrass? Thanks a lot!

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Yes it does, but maybe you need to chop the grass up a little bit into shorter strands.

[@marsuy4015]

good idea thanks idol

[@anarchisttutor7423]

Can you crush corn kernels? If I can get them smaller, I can run them through a grain mill that has an opening too small for the undamaged kernels (or so I've read; I haven't bought the mill yet).

[@hawihawi9260]

Great project! I have a question, how much bigger can you make your metal tray to be able to have more surface are? And can the hydraulic work just as good with more fruit?

[@MaxMakerChannel]

The smallest jacks have 2Tonnes. Mine has 5 tonnes. 2tones is enough for my size. 5 tons is already overkill. With 5 tons, I could probably double the size. You can also get an 8 ton press. Be carefull though, 10mm rods are only big enough for 5 tons. 8 tons would strip the threads.

[@JanColdwater]

Awesome!

[@MaxMakerChannel]

+lJ Alien Coldwater Thanks!

[@MaxMakerChannel]

+Colin Barnes Thanks!

[@Ladyofvirtue247]

This was really satisfying watching this!! Do you sell these juicers?

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Ladyofvirtue247 Thanks. Not really. The labour costs of making these would be too expensive for most people.

[@grantemandien4807]

Hi Max, fantastic instructions and project. Do you know where in Berlin I could buy the polymer granules?

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Yes on Ebay, or Amazon. Look for Polymorph. There are several offers under different names.

[@golfshoe9321]

Two things I notice with this build: 1) you need to make sure the base plate that is attached to the head of the jack is level, 2) I would probably counter sink the bottom nuts so that the entire unit sits flat so the the forces from the jack does not BEND the base. I avoided the metal container and plunger and just place the materials in a ziplock bag with a hole at the bottom and slant the entire unit to allow drainage.

[@lautarotestero3817]

Which food processor do you use? Thanks , your press is amazing!!!🤗

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Thanks ; ) I grate them in a Bosch food processor. You know like Parmesan cheese.

[@Gocast2]

Great project! I can only find an 8 tonne hydraulic jack in my area, which is still cheap as chips, however do you think this could produce too much pressure for the structure to handle? thanks

[@MaxMakerChannel]

8tons is enough force to tear the threaded bar apart. I calculated it. Especially if you use stainless steel. So either be carefull, or use thicker bars. 2 tons is enough though.

[@Gocast2]

Cheers!
