New wood for the Export
« on: March 20, 2014, 05:59:41 PM »
I got the lever handle and portafilter handle done in Cocobolo by cannon fodder on H-B.  Pretty damn sweet, don't ya think?

Aren't you the hottest cookie on the pan!

Yes, love cocobolo and the wood works well in your corner.

How is the Lido2, sportsfan?

It's too big for my hands.  I tried it for espresso, and had to sit down and hold the grinder between my knees.  I tried if for drip this morning, and same thing.  I'll open it up more for FP tomorrow, and see how it goes.

The funnel/handle is a brilliant addition to the previous version.  Srill trying to figure out the best way to remove the catch jar without changing the setting.

Try sitting down.  Place the base against the inside of left thigh.  Tilt the grinder on a 45-50* angle toward right thigh.  Prop the grinder against your right thigh/leg. Use the inside of your thigh for leverage, leaning the weight into the thigh.

I'm afraid I'd be banned with HGR on this one, the third grader in me was already snickering at the topic title.  (sorry Patty, it is a sweeeet Export!)

Boys, boys, boys....I'm WAY ahead of you on this one.  Please note the following:

1.  I have TWO, and
2.  The big one is spring loaded.

Nice wood!   I might have kept mine if it looked that sweet.
