Project Information
This wine press has been in my family since it was made sometime in the early 1900's. Since I've been alive, it was always used more or less as a piece of cultural yard art at my grandparents home, though my Grandfather can recall using it with his father as child. When my grandfather passed away a few years ago, my mother really wanted me to see if I could fix the press. I think what she had in mind was simply replacing the staves with new lumber, but I had different plans in mind.
My grandfather always told me, if you're going to do a thing, do it as well as you can. The press is still used as cultural yard art, but now its also fully functional.
