You know what I thought would work well for some bigger rosin production is to use a tortilla machine, those giant George foreman type presses. I've never done the rosin myself, don't see it happening either :)
haha I keep envisioning myself standing on a George Foreman grill pressing rosin too. I checked out a tortilla maker thing I have in the cabinet though and there's space in between the plates sadly.

K so I need to do some field engineering on it. Mount it to a frame with a hydraulic :)

There you go a hydrolic press or a pneumatic arbor press will produce the most weight pressure or force pressure.

I'm just using a 1 ton arbor press for its size. Literally they go up $100-$200 for every 1/2 ton. The cheapest 2 ton arbor press I could find is a dake for $400. I can get a 1 ton arbor press at harbor freight for $50 or $60 then the plates combo with 2.5 x 2.5" plates , pid controller and coils is $290.

The smaller the plates the more psi the plates produce. You don't want the plates to be that much larger than the stalk. With a hydrolic press the largeset plates I would use is 5"x5" plates.

The more psi from the plates the less heat is used and the better the quality.

The pid controller is basically an e nail.

How is Espania Mr J? How is the family liking the international scene?
Espana es muy bien. :) I'm having a blast of a time here, and so is little H, but wifey hates it here unfortunately. She is however taking advantage of being in Europe and is traveling a lot. My Spanish is really coming along and I will even strike up conversations with people now. Plants are looking good and I have made some friends so life is pretty good.

Hardest part really has been transitioning from wife working and me not, to the opposite. We've just now really figured out a nice balance, which makes everything easier.

I don't want to return to the USA to be honest. However wife can't wait to get back to the USA. And where wife goes, baby goes, and where baby goes, I go. So there you go. lol

Here's a few pictures:
Taking down a palm tree that had fallen a bit during the storm the other day and found a whole load of these grubs. They were about 2 inches long and fatter than one of my thumbs.
