Thinking about making my own tamper... ideas?!?

Postby Lynsey » Sat Apr 25, 2009 8:06 am

Hello

I'm currently in the process of making my own tamper, well my dad randomly had a metal turner in the shed, and with his 60mm piece of stainless steel, he is going to make me a few tampers.

Do you think having one solid piece of stainless steel would work, as I think it would be too heavy, or is it better using stainless steel for the base, and a different material for the handle?

I will post pictures when I receive them.

Thanks, Lynsey :)

My tamper is purely solid stainless steel and it weighs about 700g. It aint heavy at all and it's easy to use.
