The press my hubby made for me...with a great plunger and holder for my weights!

Actually Alex... what a great idea you just gave me. ...or, if you know of a good mold, do share!

I make all my pressing moulds from HDPE or PVC pipe segments, drilling 1/8-3/16 holes all around. During pressing, the "moulds" are placed on a glass tray. My followers are made of 1/16 S.St. discs and Formica coated plywood. Until now I didn't have the opportunity to buy such moulds, except dripping ones that part of them I make from diary products packagings.

I love the indentation on the cup of Israeli buttermilk, they look so good on cheese and give you really nice mold... Do you just use a drill for the holes or do you have some sort of apparatus to make all these holes so nicely and evenly?

I use a 25W Pyrography Iron with the nail tip. The pattern is a result of my "pathological perfectionism tendency"   toward certain things.

Use a screw driver or hold a nail with a plier, heat them over a flame and that's it.

That's the tool:
