Custom Resin Handles

Looks way better in the flesh. I think from memory I toned the gold down a bit in the tamper stand to match the honey colour of your tas oak bench

Sensational... Like someone else said it's a bit like watching the liquid silver terminator rise up from the floor... Great Mod, derrilex :kudos

Cheers OG. Now to start playing with a few more colour combos :thumb:

I've picked up the stand and the handle and all I can say is WOW! They look amazing (good in the photo but mind-blowing in real life) and match the woodwork in the kitchen perfectly. Thanks DX for this awesome kit and thanks also for the great cup of coffee and chat: Kuda Mas kudos!!! :thumb:

You're welcome Brett. Keep looking at it and you will see something new every time 😃

Yowsers, that's awesome. I want. But I love my wood so much... I'm conflicted!

derrilex

I dare say you're not the only one Kelsey. I love wood too but.....if only in came in funky colours and was impervious to the environment it lives in :laugh:

Had a bit of a play with some more solid type of colours. I like it, a lot.

Brett_H

Oh stop it....seriously... That looks AWESOME!

Did you put the new tap in KK ? If so, you will have a spare toggle to play with. Hmmmmmm.

Yes I did fit the new tap

Worked out pretty ok KK. The nutsert worked fine with a bit a ginning around. I think AM's suggestion of just making a blank and centre drilling in a lathe is the go. Then tap the thread and use a helicoil. More expensive though. The nutserts are about 80cents each. Helicoils are about $ 8 each by the time you buy the kit.

Just have to do another one over the weekend

Geeze mate you are a legend. That looks outstanding. Shortly it will be my turn.. :thumb:

I assume that all that style of knob is the same ? Just have to get the process down. The OE bolt is too long for my liking and needs about 6 mm taken off it. It is longer than the nutsert which is unnecessary IMO. The OE knob has a plastic nutsert. I have a choice of ally or steel. I've gone with the steel initially, but the OE bolt will need a trim, unless I go down the helicoil road - which I might yet.
