Those are flour tortillas, right?

The ones you buy are.g But I don't want to buy them. That
probably is why they don't make a lot of the big honkin' presses,
though.

They are not made with a press.
They are rolled out by hand with a small pin. My SIL showed me, using
a 8-9" inch section of wooden broomstick handle. Flour, lard, water,
rolling pin.

My rolling skills are sorely lacking. Especially if I'm trying to
end up with something round enough to roll reasonably.

I've got lots of other plans for the press, though. Pitas, chips,
burgers. . . maybe even squeezing the liquid out of grated zucchini.
Size is what got me looking at making my own -- but all the other
thoughts I've got are what make me want it to be adjustable.
