Building an adjustable tortilla press
Just as I was about to buy a tortilla press, my family gets on a 'wrap
sandwich' kick with those 10-12" wraps. Ii don't see presses that big-- so I start looking into building one. Pretty simple to start with- http://www.curbly.com/chrisjob/posts...tortilla-press But then I figure If I'm going to cut up either the oak or cherry 5/4 slab in the garage-- I might as well get the most use out of this thing. So I want to make it adjustable. I'd like to be able to adjust in 1/16" increments from 1/16 to say 1/2". I know there has to be a more-or-less simple way to do this, but I'm drawing a blank. I've thought of using laminate shims to build up the base. Seems like a dirt catcher, and kind of in-elegant. I've been looking at adjustable cabinet hinges, but haven't found any that adjust more than 5mm & I want at least 12. Any other ideas? Even if it wasn't for a tortilla press, I'm sure someone here has passed this way before. Thanks, Jim |
