Combine woodworking skills with functional design in this comprehensive 3-hour workshop. Create a stunning tortilla press featuring segmented Missouri hardwoods and smooth mechanical action.
You'll master cutting board-style glue-up techniques on a larger scale, creating one long blank with striking wood patterns. Cut your glued piece in half to form matching top and bottom pressing surfaces. Then learn hardware installation as you attach a metal hinge and lever mechanism, transforming beautiful boards into a fully functional tortilla press.
What You'll Learn:
Advanced edge-grain glue-up techniques
Wood selection for visual impact
Precision cutting for matching surfaces
Metal hinge installation
Lever mechanism assembly with pin
Food-safe finishing for kitchen tools
Your finished press (8-10" pressing surface) will make perfect tortillas, flatbreads, and more. This project combines multiple woodworking skills in one impressive, usable piece.
