I would have it sit in the foyer as a decoration in the old Victorian house I don't own 

almost a piece of art.

Denny,

my buddy used one of my grain bags in  his press to keep the solids from running out. do you do anything like this or just let it go?

That's beautiful Denny! What kind of wood is it?

The press I use has a mesh bag that fits in the press. I think something is mandatory or you'll have a mess.

A few years ago I did two gallons using a standard kitchen blender. Not the way to go, even for such a small amount.

I just let the wild yeast do it's thing, and it was some good drinking.

Here is the Juice and Strain feature I mentioned in my previous posts. It is definitely a creative alternative to the usual pulp/press technique.

  i have only done a few at most. and they were basic, however, one of my colleagues has an orchard and an over abundance of apples.  he wants to try to make his own cider. both alcoholic and not alcoholic.  does anyone have any recommendations on shredding the apples, pressing etc?

The only mass bottle explosions I've ever had were the from the one and only time I tried to make apple cider - whether you shred or press the apples, be careful and accurate with the sugar content - apples can vary greatly, as I found out...
