There sure would be another potential customer! Me!!
One of the side panel on my machine is broken (I dropped a heavy cast iron pot on it :roll: )

A set of plastic sides runs over $300.00 plus shipping.
Clive absolutely refuses to send Wooden La Spaz side panels to Canada ... :evil:
LMWDP #330

Be thankful for the small mercies in life.

Bacote wood for an Expobar. Lousy photo, color intensity is way low but it was from my battery almost dead cell phone.

Depends on the wood and how much of it is needed. Dimensioned exotic wood can get very expensive very fast and it is difficult to find. I just picked up a bunch of cocobolo shorts, 3-4 feet long. That is several hundred in wood. My last ironwood order will fit in a medium USPS flat rate box and was over $500 in wood. Domestic wood is much less expensive. Yes to the GS3 question.

Email me, ineedespresso@sbcglobal.net

I am in the middle of 3 espresso machines orders at the moment and making a big black walnut end table. I am finally up to the July orders at this point.

Dave,
Your work is awesome!
I sent you a email last week inquiring about a lever handle and joystick for the steam and hot water on my Quickmill Veloce.

Cheers
Dan
