[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 146536, member: 1365"] Actually, pressed cakes are pretty easy to make. All you really need is a couple of smooth pieces of wood that are fairly stout (I've used melmine covered shelving and also a 2X6 cut to a 1 ft. length) and maybe four good C clamps. My blend started out fairly damp. I laid down a sheet of aluminum foil and then a sheet of waxed paper on one piece of the wood (or whatever)...then the tobacco...then waxed paper and foil...and finally the 2nd piece of wood. Once I squared it up I put a C Clamp a little in from each corner and clamped 'er down good. Real good!!! I let mine sit a week, which I don't think was enough...I think longer would be better...that, and checking the torque on the clamps once in a while and keeping them down really tight!!! That's about it...wood and clamps. A poor man's tobacco press. Worked OK. [/QUOTE]
