I don't think anyone has the parts off the shelf so you have to be able 
to do something to make them.

The round follower is always a hangup without a lathe but who says the 
press has to be round?

I have a square 6" press that I use more than the round one that we 
sell.  Square cheese is nice.

All you need to make a square one is a table saw.  Make it out of 1/2" 
PVC cutting board stock or just buy some cutting boards at your local 
house wares store.
