Dry sift 110 lpi. They key to good sift is slow drying the plant material for at least 2 months. This sift was made from plant material that slow dried for 9 weeks at 68 degrees and very low rh in a cedar box

IMO Rosin is the shit! You can definitely tell how good the nugg is when pressing. I do short presses @ 320f. Come out beautifully every time. I will post some of my results shortly with a before and after. I am getting 20% return off of some really good Marionberry Kush. The taste alone is why I love Rosin. Don't even try to make it out of crappy weed. Even that BS outdoor that is everywhere won't do good. Has to be DANK . Fresh helps also. I get better returns from fresh buds. NOT wet.

Purple ace of spades rosin
This was a topic on hash church a few weeks ago... Whether it was real or just the lighting. They were talking about chewbertos pic of God bud purple rosin that was on intsagram and I think was even published in high times. Shout out to you and chewberto! Nice work! Good discovery!

@LexTalionis from my experience cheap work is not any good, and good work is not cheep. most reviews of cheap presses are not very positive. lots of average to below average presses for under$200 but you get what you pay for.

well I don't own one so I cant say, but I would hazard a guess that a quality press is going to cost you upwards of 2500$-3500$ and then I would only buy from a reputable source with good reviews and some reputation in the rosin community. or, buy the parts and build your own. that's the cheapest option for 200$. so hair straightener and a hd hand clamp or build one like a few have for around the same cost I believe you are just going to be disappointed with the 200$ prefab presses

Looking at building or buying a press, wondering what everyone's liking these days. Hair straightener doesn't cut it.

Minimal metel working would be nice but if needed I could find someone to machine something.

Looking at this manual prefab from rosintech

http://www.rosintechproducts.com/products/rtp-gold-series-manual-twist

Also interested in building a hydraulic one if I can get some digital plates built for a decent price. Something like this

Dake B-10 Model Manual Utility Hydraulic Bench Press, 10 Ton Capacity, 23" Length x 18... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DWB1MTM/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_api_ATGlxbZAA9R52

And for now I'm entertaining the idea of building an arbor press with just hair straightener disassembled with the heating elements epoxied to the press, just to get smashing this week, but don't really want to toss money around when there's one soild option I should go with.

Solventless over anything

I can give you a step by step on how to build a pneumatic one. It's not hard its just tedious to get the calculations correct.
