Need help from a Metal Fabricator - Page 2

smokeyw · 10-01-2012, 10:01 AM

Okay, I gotcha now. That looks awesome!

Teamfour · 10-01-2012, 10:15 AM

Is the press in the video flat on the bottom, or is it cupped to form the burger?

I actually prefer burgers that have been cooked on a griddle over a grill and I'd just like to try this technique. His press was custom made and I can't find anything like it for sale anywhere.

I sent email to Meyer Metal Works and will wait for his response...

Jim until you get a press made,maybe you could either use a brick wrapped in foil or a cast iron skillet an egg size skillet would work great I think.

I'd buy one if someone would sell those presses.

No... that is a flat bottomed press.

I'm a fabricator and after seeing that now I've got to make one.

BillywannaQ · 10-01-2012, 01:44 PM

Hey JM, check out the burger stomper on YouTube.

JMSetzler · 10-01-2012, 04:32 PM

The burger stomper might work if i can't find someone to build me something...

Mo-Dave · 10-01-2012, 04:38 PM

So it has a small concave on the bottom, is that what you are talking about?

A pressed burger is a tough burger, just form the patties with your hands no simpler way imho.

landarc · 10-01-2012, 05:39 PM

Is there no muffler shop or fence shop around there JM, take a concrete tool, trim the blade, take a section of 6" pipe, a little grinding and welding and you would have the tool. Prototype would be easy. Manufacturing, that would be the trick.

Teamfour · 10-01-2012, 06:11 PM

If alumium would be acceptable this would be easy for someone with a lathe. You can find 8" diameter, 1" thick discs at online metal suppliers. Cost is about $25. I used to machine parts for race cars from them.

landarc · 10-01-2012, 06:28 PM

JM, the answer is obvious...

chibi · 10-02-2012, 07:32 PM

I have some 4" pipe that would work. pm me.

Michael

actually see you wanted 6. I probably could get a hold of some.
