Old Fashioned, You might be really interested in this blog, she is using a hand cranked expeller machine to make her own oil.

That is awesome and thanks for the link. If I'm reading the euro price right and Orchick's info is about right, that means approx $150 US? That may be a bit of a $tretch for us right now, but yes definately on the wish list....oh why can't I find one of THOSE at a thrift shop???
It only mentions doing seeds for oil, but I wonder if it would work for corn, olive and/or canola?

I think she said that it needs to have atleast 25% fat content. She said that it did not do olive. Not sure on the other ones.
