Hi Bill,
I reckon you could make one without too much effort. The stainless cylinder would create a few issues. (You would need to get the mesh rolled.) The press works quite well at removing honey from the cappings. It comes out of the wax much better when the weather is warm. I have been leaving my cappings to drain overnight and then pressing them the next day. With the cool weather, I have been putting the cappings in my honey warming cabinet for about 5 or more hours or more before pressing them. Cleanup is a bit of a pain but once you develop a technique, it?s not too bad.
