A while back my son, who lives in the Netherlands, asked me about making he and his wife a 58mm Espresso Coffee Tamper. I looked at a lot of different websites and couldn't find something that would fit the bill or I really didn't trust the individual I was talking too. So, my good buddy Chuck (@Dalecamino) suggested I give Rick Herrell (@rherrell) a shout and see if he could help out. So I contacted Rick and he said he'd see what he could do. The pictures below show what Rick did for me. A beautiful custom turned Stainless Steel Tamper that will last for a very, very long time.
The handle material is Olive wood that was harvested off an Olive tree that was just over 150 years old from another friends Olive Orchard in Oakdale CA. It was fun to turn but did require some Epoxy to fill some of the voids in the Olive. My son and his wife saw the pictures I sent and love the Tamper. Thanks to both Chuck and Rick for helping me out.
Thanks for looking.
