Search on this site. Many people have either made them, or posted plans and pictures.
Do you have woodworking skills? If so you can probably build one inexpensively. What style would you like to build?
If not, you can do what I did when I started, stack weights. Use a board and pendulum to keep it level and stable.

Currently I use 2 stock pots with water and weight plates on top as a cheese press but in the near future I plan to use 2 buckets as a cheese press. The good thing about a bucket press is you can add warm water in the top bucket so the cheese gets warm which makes it knit better and acidify properly. https://theartofcheese.com/make-a-bucket-press/
Below is a picture of my makeshift cheese press and cheddar style cheese

I have slight skills I am looking for a press that does not take up much space

Regardez le site Morelands https://cheesemaking.co.uk/product-category/tools-and-equipment/cheese-making-presses/
bon chance avec votre passe-temps nouveau !
