Instead of buying a $200 press you use a coffee can and some old weights (the ones I never use in my basement..lol..)<BR/><BR/>I also know some people who use coffee cans to store greese from the foods they cook.<BR/><BR/>People used to recycle motor oil for horses feet. Not anymore tho..<BR/><BR/>I love to recyle myself.<BR/><BR/>Great post..
