Tiny cheese press..

Just a quick blurb to document the build on my new, tiny cheese press. This one is for making small, 1 pound wheels. It's a 4.5" inside diameter unit, as compared to my 6" diameter piece I used for the first wheel. Check it:

 
There's another follower (wooden thingy on the right side, in this pic..) that goes with this too.. that's gonna be used to stabilize the "piston" inside the PVC pipe press to keep the cheese from getting lopsided. I hope to test this beauty out this weekend by making a block of Jalapeno Cheddar.. we'll see how that works out.  I'll get a better pic of the complete piston unit when I get it totally built.

That's it!
