Here I'm using about seven or eight cloves.

Again, I'm demonstrating how to peel garlic and chop garlic. You don't need some fancy piece of equipment, and you definitely don't need a garlic press. As shown:

Take a clove of garlic, and put the flat of your knife on it. Press down on the flat with your hands until it smooshes. Then lift off the knife and pull your garlic out of the papery covering. Done. Once you've peeled all the garlic then chop, relatively finely, and add to the pan.

i'm with you on this one. I have tried to like garlic presses, because cooking friends of mine liked them. But I just couldn't. My momma taught me to smash with a knife. (nice to see you on instructables, btw.)
