Re: my new custom tamper
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.

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.
