Looks wonderful and not at the least anemic like the commercial ones.

That looks great Big Guy! I'd never seen a ham press before and I think the use of a 1/2" Milwaukee Hole Hawg is a stroke of genius. Great set-up! RAY

Colonel Ray... You've done it again! It looks marvelous. I'm definitely going to make some of this stuff.... tonight! Thanks for sharing.

Looks good! And where the heck did you score one of those ham presses? I have been looking for one on the North American continent for a while and no luck. Seen a few on German eBay, but they either did not want to ship to Canada or the shipping cost were excessive.

Have to find to find myself one of those presses. Looks yum.

Holy Smokes, I think I will stick with the homemade one!!!

I'll have to pass. I'd be all over it if I had more folks to cook for. RAY

That's me! What would I ever do with a ten pound loaf of sandwich meat? I can feed the two of us for a week on one chicken.

There are always a bunch for sale on German eBay.
This is what's available today:

The problem is the darned shipping.
