Definitely. Last week I made a tortilla press after breaking my cast iron one. Yesterday I made a batch of flour and a batch of corn tortillas because my wife doesn’t like corn tortillas. Today I made another tortilla press.
When everyone was making bread during covid I made some tortillas. I have a reputation as a prepper. My wife was confused why I wasn’t going out and buying everything. After eating some tortillas she said “so you can do this all the time. This is why you aren’t out panic buying. Because you can pull this off in an hour instead of 8. Why aren’t we eating tortillas every day?”
Not me. I can’t have kids because I understand that tortilla presses in the hands of a 3 year old becomes a finger crusher and if a kid isn’t old enough to make a tortilla press they aren’t old enough to use one. Age 6 is the right age for working with power tools.
I’m only half joking. My wife got herself fixed at 24 and and I got myself fixed at 40 because we both know that we both knew neither of us should ever have kids.
If I hadn’t snapped my cast iron one I wouldn’t have made my own. Cast iron isn’t supposed to do that. I made the second one to better and I accidentally had 6 beers worth of time to burn.

How did you make your tortilla press?
Scrap 2x4s, a large bolt, a dowel, some deck screws, a little glue, table saw, bandsaw, jig saw, drill press, drill
I can’t attach a picture without a 403 error.

Last weeks
Are you the guy that made a tortilla press for his 3yr old? I saw this on Imgur and it made my day imgur.com link.
I had no idea homemade tortilla presses were a thing, but I guess they had to come from somewhere before mass production

Nice! Great job!
ETA- you should share that on the woodworking community.
I’ve got stuff I’d love to post there and to cooking groups but these pesky 403 errors get in the way.
