It's been on the cards for a while now, but with things progressing in the kitchen and the fact there was a genie lift on site, we decided it was time to take the cider press down...
Mike got to work removing the screws and main mechanism:
Then Steve and Steph brought the lift down to take off the load bearing of the oak:
After a few initial attempts knocking the steels and repositoning the arms:
It was decided that the safest way was to support the oak with a temporary strap:
This was much stronger and allowed the oak to slide down the steels with more ease:
An extra push:
Unscrewing the strap support:
And that's how you take down a chunk of cider press!
Now it's down we have a bit of work to do to turn in to a kitchen island, but the bulk of it is there now so another job (almost) done!
