Silly question...but are these supposed to be like the "texture" of a jerky?  I am learning vicariously thru yall about all the sausages!

Sorta close like jerky but more dense because of the use of cure #2

The pressing originated in Germany (i think). The LJ was pressed flat so hunters could fill their pockets and sacks with them.

dense = chewy?

When you press just one time in the fridge for 1-2 days. Pressing is opt but remember the larger the casing the longer the dry time.

Looks real good!!!

I need to make me a new batch.

I started using BriCan's technique for squaring them up, works real good and doesn't require a special jig.

I found it easier for me to use 2-3 plastic serving trays like you use at Golden Corral. They stack perfect and can take 15-20lbs of weight and fit in the fridge.
