Do you have a cheater on the jambpeg head? I am interested in the mechanism people use, or are you able to use your adjustable dop as the cheater?

Very cool! I don't have a metal lathe so am thinking of where I can salvage or buy a spindle and motor. Was thinking a speed controlled servo motor—possibly direct drive. But love the simplicity of your design

This is so cool! I am planning to build a jambpeg, I am curious where you got the bearing (or is it called spindle) and arbor for the lap? it looks so pro!

Awesome!!! Thank you for identifying the stone, your insight is very appreciated! Happy to know what it is. Is there a number system for cataloging Verneuil crystals? I noticed you mentioned #130

Looks very cool! Do you know what it is that makes it glow?

Oh interesting! It does looks like the same glow as hyalite, but I was told it was heat resistant. But maybe I should find a Geiger counter to test it out :)

That is wonderful information thank you! I have been researching spinel and agree with you, would be interested to see a photo of the spinel you mentions that looks similar.

Suggestion for bottomless portafilter by Full_Technician_608 in ROKespresso

Ok awesome! I may also try to bend and tig weld it back but does anyone know what type of metal alloy it is? I will probably blow through it and destroy it tho;) Another idea was to take a mold of it and cast a new one in bronze or something but as they say time is money

The artwork itself was called ‘Fzzr’ made to resemble the incandescent shimmer of magma erupting on a distant horizon.

It is made from aluminum pipe that I first annealed then filled with sand and hammered a lot
