It’s not small, but I think you could set it up in a utility closet or a corner of your garage....
That's why I went with the 10 ton driptech. I live in Canada, and our Harbor Freight equivalent Princess Auto charges $549.99 CAD or $412.50 USD for a 20 ton hydraulic shop press. I haven't seen it on sale yet. This press takes up about 30" square floor space. The benchtop model is more expensive, but takes up less real estate.

Nice! That doesn’t really take up much room. Decisions decisions lol. I would probably be better off to go the 20 ton route, especially for about the same price. I still got a bit before I can order but you got me thinking now lol

I have degenerative disc, L4 & L5 and arthritis in my mid back. As long as I do my FECO daily with light exercise, stretching mostly, I do ok.

Don’t get me started on back problems @gr865 I’ll whine all day. 
I’ve had 5 compressed vertebrates fixed in 3 operations. Hated it! It’s why I started growing and what led me to squeezing bud. You all can thank me later. 
I have the exact same press as @BobbyZ my blocks are homemade, and not as nice, but they squish shit. They squish it good.

Hey I had a thought.
We need to log our grams vs return. Then run an average once you have about 5 sets of numbers. Compare and average all our numbers and we’ll know the best amount to squeeze and get the most return.
Press 7 grams 5 times then avg returns.
Press 5 grams 5 times then avg returns.
Press 3 grams 5 times then avg returns.
Obviously don’t do it all at once. Just log your numbers...
Overkill?

Thanks! I still have a bit more, so I’m happy. More than enough for the summer. And I have 3 plants almost ready to pull. I see more squeezes in the near future.

LOL! Thanks yeah, that squish was accomplished with the 160 bags I got from DabPress as a sample when I bought their puck maker. They’re very good bags IMO. Before that I’ve always used 120s I get on Amazon. The bud was harvested at the end of January 2019.
In my professional opinion (for all the naysayers, it is possible to be professional at squishing shit, so stop laughing
) it’s the weed that makes the squeeze. This particular weed is superior in every way. Above top-shelf. It’s that good and I’ll brag about it all day long. It doesn’t just look good either. Straight up fire. 
* Edit: I’d like to think my growing technique and lighting/environment has something to do with the outcome as well. There is that.

Quality starting materials will end with the best yields and quality of rosin!
Your grandpas glue is phenomenal and i would love to smash a bag of it! I’m excited to run some GG#4 in the grow!

Since I am very new to this and have not had the opportunity to test other strains all I can go by are the three strain for my grows over the past couple of years.
All three have different fragrance, taste (both inhale and exhale) is very favorably and the high from each is different but each is a more intense and has a longer lasting buzz. Yet you can still smoke a joint or bowl and catch a good buzz also.
I am smoking 80% rosin and the rest is combustion related. My lungs sure fell better and IMHO the high is much cleaner and clear.
Can't wait to make enough to decarb and make some digestible veg caps. I am making a batch of FECO this week as I am just about out of daily wellness dosage.
Hope to have time to do some squishing this week also.
