Does anyone know how cardboard takes rosewood stain?

THAT IS AN AMAZING SETUP!!

I'm not trying to be funny, but man you win the ultimate ZEN award of the year. That is the most creative re-use (or recycling) of the box I've ever seen.



....just be very careful NOT to go over the recommended 30lb tamping, you might want to ease off a bit, something like 28lbs would be more ideal in your situation (OK, that time I was trying to be funny).

LOL, the pic reminds me of many folks that went house-broke during the last housing market surge. Buying beautiful homes that that they can barely afford the mortgage; nothing left for furniture, and fine dining on weenies & beans.

Hope you

Don't forget to peel off the plastic protective seel on the cup warmer guard.

That's an eye catcher, thanks for sharing. I would go with a nature look and try a clear laquer. :P

I can't decide.
Should I:

a) Use a wash machine box instead to better align the drain heights?

b) Borrow the automatic bilge pump from the boat?

c) Pack it in and reinstall the whole thing in the kitchen?

Anybody else for clear laquer on cardboard? I'm still thinkin' rosewood.

Ok, the kitchen looks like this if I shoot back on the same axis.
This parallel universe stuff is cool.

I couldn't get the blisters out of the contact paper so I just started over.

...it looks OK.
I prefer the cardboard box you had the Vivaldi on.








Just kidding.
That's really beautiful! Nice work.
Is that a Breville knockbox I see on the left?

Post by CLB »

Affirmative on the knockbox.
Bar stools arrive tomorrow and then I'm in bees-ness.
Best of all, I am back up to full 30lb tamping.

I am saving the Spaz box in case I decide to switch back.

I heard you really know the Vivaldi box really well, like how to install a VII on one, how to grind and tamp on it as well...




Did you really pull shots off the top of the shipping box for a while?

Absolutely!

You just can't beat Hairbender with a whisp of sheetrock dust.

Once the cabinets went into the laundry, the Anita pulled emergency duty behind the ironing board while the Spaz rested.

The Anita?!
Awesome machine!
I love Hairbender, see...I know my blends too.
I assume you live up in that area by the looks of those trees in the background.
CLB

Post by CLB »

Affirmative again.
You know your trees as well.
I get to take my Hairbender home hot off the roaster, non home roasting neophyte that I am.

It's a bit of a chameleon isn't it?

Thanks algrilli.

Anita...
she sure gets around!
Damn beautiful and then she leaves you for another man.

I better type fast, don't wanna' give my wife any ideas...although the next machine I have my eyes on is named after her (at least that's what I'm going to tell her).
