Bruised /overripe fruit was what grandma always used to make cider. They didn't waste anything.

Around here we have a bunch of antique/thrift stores that carry old tools and equipment. Over the past couple of years I've put together a collection of hand powered carpentry and kitchen tools. Right now I'm looking for a working corn sheller...will see if I can find a press the next time I make my rounds.
