[Guest aclaimsman]

Here is my version of a crystal press. It works pretty well for those of us to cheap to purchase one.

I've done it with less finess than that.... cutting board, heavy book, towel and a slam of my fist..

semi off topic: how do you get the crystal out; i want to rotate mine by a mill and its been put in a bit sloppy?

[KenMc]

Looks okay, but I want to see how you put the corks in yo' moonshine bootles.

@ aclaimsman

Is that a piece of PVC pipe in there on top of the crystal? You could even notch it out to go over the cyclops.

Pretty ingenious!

[Guest aclaimsman]

Yes that is a piece of PVC that I cut to fit. The picture does not show, but if you look at the black line on the PVC, it has a small notch to fit over the cyclops. Pretty weird looking, but it works in a pinch.

I wouldn't use those, frankt. They're magnetized.
