I looked at a press that was advertised. It looked to me like an old thermoplastic extrusion screw and barrel. I have a few connections in the plastic business so I will ask around for an old barrel and screw. If not I think I could make something from an old hydraulic cylinder. The trees wont bear fruit for about 4 years so I will have time to scrounge something on the cheap.
