Hey!
So for the holidays I decided I wanted to make a gift for my wife and made this wooden tortilla press. I used a oak and walnut combination and love how it turned out.
It only took a couple of days (minus drying time for the glue and finish) to complete and was a lot of fun to make!
I hope you enjoy this and wish you all a happy holidays!

I like that. It looks like you spaced it at the hinge so that the two pieces are not touching. I hate tortilla presses that are hinged to meet. There’s no way to press a flat piece of masa. Did you use any spacer opposite the hinge so the plates won’t make the tortilla too thin on that end?

Thanks! I just used two pieces of construction paper (around the thickness of corn tortilla) as a spacer. I ran out of time to test it on actual masa so I used play-doh (all I had around, but it’s more or less the consistency of masa) and it pressed out flat evenly.

This is really awesome. Looks great, and uses compound levers!
Have your say...
