This is my juice squeezer made from 2 2x8 boards and 2 door hinges.
Almost 3 gallons of juice ready to boil. I am 1 cup short of 3 gallons. Oranges from 3 trees and about 20 tangerines. I am not getting much pulp with this juice press, I love the pulp too. Boil the juice and the acid boils off in about 15 minutes. Low acid and no acid is much easier on my stomach. I put the juice in empty 2 liter soft drink bottles then put it in the refrigerator. It will be gone in a few days.
Here is the video, making juice. The video works for me, I hope it works for you. Click the link.

applestar, I keep having to make more juice and orange marmalade it is so good it does not last long. I'm not sure what the yield is, I might have squeezed 80 oranges, 20 tangerines, 10 lemons to get 3 gallons of juice.
If you want to make orange marmalade, here is a great recipe. Squeeze the juice into a large pot. Put the smashed oranges in the pot with the juice then bring to a boil. Turn off the heat, place lid on top, let it set over night. Next day remove the oranges. Boil juice to reduce volume by half this will double the flavor by getting rid half the water. Add 1 1/2 gallons of sugar to 1 1/2 gallons of juice. Orange peals have a lot of pectin so you might not need to buy Sure Jell that is why we boiled the oranges in the juice and let it set over night to get more flavor, more pulp, more pectin. Boil juice about 7 to 10 minutes to see if it becomes thick. If it gets thick it is ready for jars. If it does not get thick add pectin = Sure Jell.
