You will be required to drill several holes (16 to be exact) for the frame bolts, attach the slats for the pressing basket, secure the sides of the bottom tray, and pressing plate with glue (not supplied) and screws. Not supplied: you will also need to apply a suitable finish, and a scissors and/or bottle jack to supply actual force.

All the assemble to done, all you have to do the apply a suitable finish, and a scissors and/or bottle jack to supply actual force.
