My issue with the piteba is the scale--it is too small for production, but the next size up is thousands of dollars and takes big power to run. A homestead-scale oil press would be awesome, especially if alternatively powered.

An arbor can be built from bed frame angle iron to hold a small bottle jack. The screw adjustment for the jack can be clamped between the top pair of angle irons so that the bottom of the jack is pressing down on the oil paste a ring and plunger could be used for more control.

Perhaps I'm dense, but I have no idea what you are saying... I can follow the links you listed, but what is an Oak follower block an what do I do with it? Why would I need a hole in a pot?
Sometimes the answer is nothing
"Hundreds of years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in or the type of car I drove... But the world may be different because I did something so bafflingly crazy that it becomes a tourist destination"
It's never too late to start! I retired to homestead on the slopes of Mauna Loa, an active volcano. I relate snippets of my endeavor on my blog : www.kaufarmer.blogspot.com
