A bit of lever action

[staylor]

It does look like they did a top notch job on them! How do you like them so far? Have you gotten the lever PF 'burp' bubble yet?

I watched that vid a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed it. I was wondering if I would get any PF burp bubbles and I'm already seeing some pretty cool foamies, something I've never seen up close before.

I just went and took an iPhone shot of one of them.

Same day service. . . That is quite a machine shop you have there!

For all of the people drooling over Staylor's 2-Group Ponte Vecchio, I would like to make you aware of the fact that there is a 2-Group PVL available on craigslist Richmond, VA for $550. It looks to have been well taken care of in the pictures, but as always I do not know anything about the machine of it's owner. They even say that the $550 includes insured shipping anywhere in the US!

Here is a link: http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/app/1869540812.html

Now if John was ready to buy I think he would pounce all over that.

Shaun, the bottom of your baskets looks like the holes are a lot larger than a typical basket.  Is that an illusion?

Same day service worked like this...

"So what you are telling me is the job could take anywhere from an hour to two hours to complete and you aren't sure if you could even do it today, your shop labor rate is $80 per hour? How about $100 cash, if it takes him 12mins to do he can keep the change, I'll wait outside and clown around with my boys and he can call me when it's done?"

Haha. That sounds more like a machine shop .

Cash is king, and money talks.  Unfortunately, it is usually saying, "Bye-bye."   



When it comes to having some job done, and done well and also quickly, cost takes a backseat.  I like how they opened the bottom of the PF up all the way.  You probably won't ever find a triple basket for that size PF, but if you did it could hang down beyond the opening.
