The Press Room: ♨

99PerCent · April 22, 2020, 1:14pm

It seems to me that there is a lack of good information when it comes to presses. Maybe I just haven’t found the right site. I know there are many on this site who have been working with a press longer than I have. So I thought we might all enjoy a place to post our “impressive” skills.

I want to throw the first one out to @Roux

He put together this little press which is affordable, durable and very efficient.

I won’t be getting rid of the @roux Press, but I have moved along and need to learn a bit more.

Awesome. I’ve fooled around with the flat iron a couple times. It was fun but man, I love watching squash videos. Truly a thing of beauty!

so…you mean using a floorjack and a hot oil-pan on a chevy isn’t enough?
lol

(yes, i have used a car to press hash, once. i have since evolved, ok?)

c.s

I’ll post up some stuff here later, have to buy a new jack, my cheap assed one from Harbor Freight just decided to spew oil everywhere.

There is a long thread on ICMag about rosin that’s long, but has some gems. Most of the pressing videos on YouTube have been taken down. IG is probably for best bet, start by giving @sasquashrosinpress a follow. Another good one is @pedrosgrowroom on Twitch.

I know it hurts now, but grab a pic or two before clean up if you can.

PS

BTW, the one I picked up recently was about the best price I could find. Happy to forward the details to you.

Too late for that, im clean and about to head out shopping. It’s been slowly leaking, I left it closed and the pressuer couldnt hold. Mind you mine is just a small 6-ton for now.

99PerCent · April 29, 2018, 5:12pm

The one I picked up is a 10 ton, and way more than is needed. I like the gauge though. Need bigger plates.

ReikoX · April 29, 2018, 5:17pm

Yeah I don’t have a gauge and that’s something I wish I had. Will be upgrading the press after the workshop upgrade. That’s January 2019 according to my plan.

legalcanada · April 29, 2018, 5:47pm

did anyone else imagine the thread was going to be about this?

Eddie.saw · April 29, 2018, 5:49pm

Can’t say I did @legalcanada lol

argo945 · April 29, 2018, 8:01pm

Still squishing with my iron if i had a big press i would be HAF , out of weed, and probably divorced. Ha Ha can’t wait till i can build one or have enough crop to justify it.

argo945 · April 29, 2018, 8:04pm

That sucks brother. Hope you can find a better replacement jack.

cannabissequoia · April 29, 2018, 8:05pm

a man of my own tribe i see heheh

99PerCent · April 29, 2018, 8:55pm

Looks mostly like Google and yourself

ReikoX · April 29, 2018, 9:11pm

Already did and pressed out some Durban Poison.

99PerCent · April 29, 2018, 11:27pm

Whatch get? Whatcha get?

ReikoX · April 29, 2018, 11:32pm

Just went to NAPA and bought a replacement jack, the press is the same. Pics later.

G-paS · April 29, 2018, 11:44pm

I got to see how you do this. I have several of those laying around of different tonnage.

99PerCent · March 23, 2020, 5:31am

Clean em up good and get you SIL to set you up.

It is as easy as can be.

You set the press up where it won’t be in the way, lol.

And get the biggest set of these you think you can manage. At 3" by 5", I should have picked up bigger plates.

The press should have something that fits this piece. It has screws that hold it in place. The other one, for now, just floats on the work surface below.

Plug & Play.

99PerCent · March 23, 2020, 6:04am

Well I am new to this. Looks like lots of variety is possible.

The one in the white tub is a mix of a bunch of different mixed kief 2nd pull material.

The other is a first pull of extremely fresh (almost wet) Space Candy.
