      Good job mooey I used Mirowax, which is bees wax/eucalyptus/linseed blend. Had it for waxing dining table. No residual eucalyptus smell. Got it from furniture/timber work place.

                          Ahh, finally found the thread.
                          I have just finished my own tamper.
                          I hope you dont mind Greg, but I attempted to copy your deluxe base.

                          Base is 316 Stainless, handle is brass. Joined with an M6 Stud.
                          Weighs 575gm
                          It took me 10 hours to make on a home metal lathe.
                          Lapped the base to a perfectly flat surface, that took about 30 mins.
                          Its the most precise thing I have ever made, so I love it.
