How to turn a plastic bottle into a citrus juicer

A juicer is a very useful tool in your home. Who wouldn't want a sip of freshly squeezed orange and lemon juice? The only problem is that such a device must first be purchased. On the other hand, the issue can be solved gracefully by assembling a homemade device from a pair of plastic bottles, which can be found in every home or nearest store.

What is needed: plastic bottle 0.5-1 liter, another plastic bottle 3-5 liters.

To begin with, we arm ourselves with a marker and take in our hands a large of the prepared plastic bottles. It needs to be cut in half. The easiest way to do this is with a clerical knife, after applying a preliminary marking. When the bottle is "halved", turn over the side with the neck inward and insert it into the other part of the bottle. When this is done, take the smaller bottle and insert it into the larger bottle in a neck-to-neck fashion. The first stage of work has been completed.

Now you need to more or less reliably connect the structure. To do this, you can take a metal knitting needle, heat it with a candle or a lighter, and then (until it has cooled down) quickly pierce all the bottles in the place where they converge. When this is done, the procedure should be done again with another knitting needle so that a cross-to-cross mount is obtained. The second stage of work has been completed.

There is little left to do. The structure should be given additional strength. To do this, in the place of punctures with a knitting needle, it is necessary to install more durable skewers, such that they can withstand pressure by hand. Once the whole structure is finally fixed, the artisanal juicer can be used.
And yes, don't forget to wash all parts before starting assembly! How exactly the unit works can be seen in the video below.
