Where are these from please?
 
Going on a 9 day road trip this week, I thought it was time to 'retire' my trusty old Porlex Hand burr grinder I've owned since 2012 (bought on the advice from 'how to make espresso' thread) Things have moved on since then, my Feldgrind is never leaving home after the Porlex replacement arrived today. On offer (20% off) from the rainforest. It's called the Timemore chestnut C2 fold. Will grind down to Turkish, but its mainly for pourover.
I've found fault already :D it wont go in the travel bag unless you take the top off and put in the bag separately, they should have made the bag a bit bigger.

My 1ZPRESSO has the same problem, it doesn't go into the bag that it comes with, unless it take it off, even those it has a foldable handle. I ended up getting a separate bag instead. If I store it with the handle detached, the metal on metal will just scratch each other.
 
A pair of precision ground stones. These are no ordinary sharpening stones, they don't sharpen! They're toolroom stones, diamond ground perfectly flat, and when rubbed across a flat metal surface (like a mill table, lathe ways, 123 blocks, or any precision flat surface) they remove any tiny bumps without affecting the underlying surface. Cost me an arm and leg - and HMCustoms relieved me of a kidney for import duties.

Never even knew such an item existed
 
With the onset of cooler weather, I picked up a couple of Therm Pro devices from Amazon. They get mixed reviews on accuracy, as with all things it's the luck of the draw; these seem consistent.

Now I cant stop watching them. :D

This was bizarre, I placed the order and paid for it (RDG Tools) and a day later the order was cancelled (by them) and I was refunded. Then today these turned up?? Christmas come early? Whatever, these are British made Tap/Reamer wrenches and surprisingly I didn't have anything in the larger size. These were sold as a pair quite cheap so I bought the pair just for the 16mm capacity wrench.

 
I do love me a new toy. Gibbon Slackline for using at my standing desk rather than a bosu ball.

Expensive for what it is, but should be fun
