Dave made this for me in November for my bezzera strega. It took me ages to get down to changing them up, and even more effort to get the stock handles off because of damn threadlock.
Kees van der Westen makes some very nice espresso machines. Hand made works of art. Now and then I get a request for some wood accents for one. These are black walnut portafilter handles and group caps for a Kees Spirit 2 group espresso machine for Circuit Coffee. When I say they are hand made, I mean they are hand made.
Couple portafilter handles and a brew/steam/water control set modeled after a Vesuvius espresso machine in Macassar ebony. The owner also wanted some risers for the espresso machine legs to sit in for more under machine clearance. I added some cork bases on them.
Just received the set from Dave and installed. They are soooo nice and feels great. I had it made a little longer and the thickness of it makes a huge difference.
Father Son project. Dad wrapped the eyes/thread on the rod blank and I designed/turned the oversize half wells cork handle, rod seat and fighting but. My new 3 weight fly rod. Casts like a feather
