Down by the Coffee Mill Stream 3

I left my coffee grinder at a friend’s house (long story).

Fortunately, I have this, which I picked up at a resale shop for a couple of bucks several years ago; it filled a hole on my knickknack shelf.

Coffee Mill

It’s not as fast as electric, but I can use any exercise I can get.

(The pliers are for the adjustment ring under the wingnut. At last, a wingnut that works with the people, not against them.)

    How come your pliers don’t have the rubber grips on the handles? All the ones I’ve seen around here do.

    They’re cheap.  They came with some tool set I got.  I’m a sucker for tool sets.

    And they are not for use on electrical connections.  The rubber handles are not really for comfort.  They’re for insulation.

    I thought it had to be comfort. I don’t have electricians. I have plumbers who freely admit they are terrified of electricity. They’ve also been shocked while working, too.
