Nice work man, next time I build a gate it's getting a steel frame, my gates weigh about 40kgs each!

 

This one's about 50kg of steel and however much 2mx4m of 20mm wood weighs, decent heft to it but still rolls super easy and smooth.

 

 

And yes, I was rather proud of my cocoa :smile:

So I use an Aeropress for my coffee mostly, cos I am a purist and snob.

But I noticed that the sleeve of the unit had developed tiny little bubbly lumps that were lined up along the length, this means the hot water was affecting the plastic and in my mind releasing all of the nasty BPA's into my coffee, which the plunger was scraping off into the brew.

This displeased me, so today i bought a bit of 304 thick walled pipe and bored it out to 57mm on my lathe, polished it up a bit and mounted a cut down and trimmed Aeropress sleeve onto it.

So now I have potentially the only stainless aeropress on the planet.

I have been toying with making an aeropress sipper cup, ie a taller cup that works like a french press but the push bit of the press ends up as the lid with drinking holes in it and that uses a paper filter rather than a stainless mesh.....
