Is Cannonfodder still providing wood pieces for our machines or was he overwhelmed?

Yes and I think he is still very busy. But you may pm him and see how :wink:

See Custom Wood for your Espresso Machine:

I enjoy the work and the satisfaction of turning a block of wood into a work or art. Most portafilter handles can be had for $45 depending on the wood selection. Matching controls and tamper handles can be had as well. Send me an email with inquires, ineedespresso@sbcglobal.net

I shot him an email a couple of days ago but received no reply. I'll just cool my jets and see if he responds..Thank you all.

Just wanted to say cannonfodder is great to deal with. He has a demanding full time job and this is a hobby for him. I'm in the process of receiving wood turned handles and joystick knobs for my Salvatore Lever. It's worth the wait. Lead time is about 6 months.

Cannonfodder touched base with me last night...9-10 months out which is okay and not surprising considering the quality. I am surprised that he does not move to full time out his garage...

Better than working for someone else in most cases.
