Making a Tortilla Press

A friend wanted me to make a tortilla press (also known as a roti press) out of timber and I thought that was a pretty good idea. It was a really simple project and it was a lot of fun.

Beautiful!

[@UrbanSelfSufficiency]

Thank you

Did the dowels on the base hold up to prolonged use? It’s been 2 years so I assume it’s been used at least 5 times lol. Serious inquiry though. I want to build one and I love this video.

[@UrbanSelfSufficiency]

I'd recommend using a thicker base and thicker dowel.

Yea I was wondering that too with all the leverage!.

[@kathrynnewton8721]

I love the handle on this and the dowels!

[@UrbanSelfSufficiency]

Awesome. Thank you!

What’s the name of that grinder attachment you used to carve the wood press handle edges and make them round?

[@UrbanSelfSufficiency]

Hey Tony, that's a flap disc; it's made from small flaps of sandpaper. You should be able to buy them at your local hardware store.
