I happen to have a rather large olive tree out behind my house.  We have 
various recipes for curing olives, and manage to eat quite a few. Even 
with giving many away, there are still far more olives than anyone can 
use.

Does anyone know of a good design or commercial model of small 
(backyard-size) press for extracting olive oil?  I believe it needs to 
apply quite a lot of pressure.  

Has anyone out there tried doing this?  I've managed to extract about a 
thimbleful of oil using  woodworking clamps, but it was not what you 
would call an efficient process.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Ari
