Linked to them via Hg One's FB page - this is very much a developing story. Very little information out there yet, but they are (she is?) making some sort of grinder, likely a hand grinder based on previous tweets.

https://instagram.com/lynweber/

http://www.lynweber.com/ - nothing here yet

https://twitter.com/lwworkshops - not used anymore?

Not much to go on, but I expect there will be more teased very soon!

9/18 Edit: Not worth making a new post, but they created a youtube channel - nothing new on there right now - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6Gpag ... bYfBetEGXw

Thats the definition of a teaser, all the website says is "expect great things" lol.

Here are some Instagram screenshots. Talk of laser etching, corrosion testing, and being "more precise than anything on the market."

What previous tweets? Did they delete a few?

Actually mistook their retweet on their old twitter account for one of their own, so perhaps not...but the fact that they did retweet that, and that Hg One posted on their facebook about them at least makes it a good possibility in my book.

Def has my interest, hope we hear more soon. HG-1 would be my next grinder but would love to see what these guys come up with, provided it would be for sales relatively soon and not like 1-2+ years from now :P

Well, they're definitely in tease mode, but they're already showing a major part of the grinder on day 2, so I think we'll have a more complete picture of what they're up to pretty soon.

I think HG One might be involved in some capacity, they keep posting links to the Lyn Weber instagram on their Facebook page. Strange behavior for a competitor...

Thanks to those who have posted links to social media... I'm hopeless in that arena. I agree with Fausto's conjecture, this smacks of a JV.

Someone on HB must know something. TomC, I'm looking in your general direction here!

What's a JV?
