One Customer's opinion
I carried my tamper around the house with me the first three days before I could finally just leave it in the kitchen.
These are one of a kind lovingly hand-crafted items that give so much enjoyment - I would like to think that the
person making these beautiful items was enjoying making them as much as I was enjoying using them. So please
give Les some room to enjoy what he does. If you didn't place your order sooner, then just be thankful that your
order is placed now and that someday you'll have your tamper - forever." Michael B

HOW TO ORDER A TAMPER
I am a small shop, and Paypal is the only way I can take payments over the Internet efficiently. If you don't see what you like, e-mail me and we can
figure something special out! I enjoy doing custom orders and don't charge extra for them. I try to build inventory when I have time. So if you order
a custom tamper it will be made before I build more inventory. As soon as you order a tamper, I put it on a list to be made. I try to get them done as
fast as I can. The whole process does take time. From start to finish it takes over a week to make a tamper. As a matter of efficiency, I do make
more than one tamper as I proceed through the various steps. Finishing the base alone takes 14 steps!

INTRODUCING THE
NEW THOR RIDGELINE!
After making a few tampers
out of Corian, I began to
think that I could be a little
creative with this material.
What I discovered was a
whole new concept in a
tamper base. The result is
the THOR RIDGELINE.
This tamper does a number
of unique things to improve
your tamp. First it tamps to
a very good depth in the
basket for an excellent shot.
Second, you are almost
guarenteed a perfectly level
tamp. Well, a picture is
worth a thousand words, so
lets take a look!
Custom orders have
been keeping me real
busy. I will be posting
some additional
tampers next week. I
have been working on
building some
inventory. I need to
get some more pictures
taken. Custom orders
are welcome, just
email me! Thank you
for all the business.

It took 7 months, but I
have a supply of
Bethlehem Olive again.
This is an example of the
new stock. You will find
this 58mm tamper under
the 58mm tab. I don't
have any stock for
handles, so we are
looking at tampers only at
this point. I am working
with the folks to get more
of this wood, but one of
the owners has illness in
the family and wood has
gone from hard to get to
almost impossible.
Coffee Drinkers seem to like pens. I
love turning pens. I have been using a
fountain pen for the past couple of
months and I am enjoying the feel of a
fine pen. This pen is turned from a
unique turquoise. This material is 85%
stone that has been pulverized and then
remade into Persian Turquoise that is no
longer mined. So here is my first offering
of a high grade fountain pen. I have
been making many roller ball pens and
ball point pens for graduation presents.
Rare Veneer Grade Amboyna burl. I am a sucker for
awesome wood! I had to pay a lot for this wood, so a set
from this is going to be expensive! I'll make a matching
tamper and handle for you out of this matched set for
$250.00.
Fine grain Desert Ironwood. I have a
few of these blanks left.
