Flower/cider press method = to prevent the fruit squishing out the sides you "employ"* a small child to run round it with a bucket, scraping it off the sides and slinging it back over the top whilst granfer adds another slat!

He eventually made a box for it to sit in, with an opening at the bottom on one side so it made it easier to get the juice. Trouble is, you have to clean it out really well and dry it or else it warps over the winter and you have to make a new one the next year.
