But what do you use for a cheese press? Do you use one that your purchased
commercially? Did you make it yourself? I'm imagining something with
a large screw thread pressing a disc in a bucket. Or did you simply
use a drilled plastic bucket, a circle of plywood or plastic and a
bunch of wieghts? Would the latter work?
