Morning. Progress was good this weekend. Spacers and handles are all machined up. Blanks arrived on Friday.

 

Slight change to the original design. The wooden handle is a bit shorter. There are 3off 3mm thick brass rings at the base so that you can fine tune the handle length based to the size of your hand. I have machined the bases for V12 and for Ken.

 

The handles got 3 coats of Danish oil last night. Waiting for that to dry and I will assemble the units. I'll post a pic tomorrow for you to see what the final product looks like as well as some overall dimensions.

 

If you are happy then I will PM you banking details and I can arrange the delivery  :thumbup:

 

So far I have the following:

 

Ken @ 58,4mm

V12 @ 58,5mm

Meezo @ 58,4mm

cadenceblur @ 58,4mm

Nerd (still to confirm diameter)

Wow. Awesome man! They look great.

Who all are based in CT as well? I know Meezo is. We can maybe split the courier.

 

Happy to do that! Looks like you, Ken and Meezo are based in the Western Cape. Have a chat to them and let me know where you need them shipped  :thumbup:

Hi Ken let me know if you're keen to have one delivery with myself and Meezo.

 

Hi, no, sorry, I'm in Sedgefield, near George so still Western Cape but not Cape Town! I'll need a separate courier.

Mine has arrived and I have tested it.... and ordered one at 58.6... there is a tiny bit of lateral play (can feel it but hardly see it) and when there is no coffee in the basket it drops in about 5mm - so lets see

 

I am very very pleased - well done Grebel - very well done indeed.

Hi Grebel, thank you, my tamper arrived this afternoon. It looks beautiful and the first tamp worked very well - pretty much no play with a 18g VST basket and very easy on the hand. I took one brass ring out so my fingers can easily touch the basket and tamper while tamping to check for an even level.

 

Wow! you've done a great job on these and I can only encourage you to keep going and anyone else who might want to upgrade, this is a very good one, and quite unique!  

 

Also, what a pleasure to deal with Grebel - no fuss, no hassle, he went the extra mile. Thanks!

 

Regards, Ken
