... That's what I said. Disturbing

Thanks (again) Max. Sounds like a Mix-n-Ball nano is in order

Looking forward to your engineering improvements :/

I lost my small mix-n-ball. I've also decided I'l like to stick with a 2 piece for the fine grind for my MFLB. I'd like to avoid chromed aluminum, as I wash in Iso. Frankly I'd like to avoid aluminum altogether, but oh well, not a lot of metal options, and not seeing any stainless steel...

That's really remarkable that they would still cover it even when modded. Because of a legal scare, I had to toss my modded LB suddenly... :o So I am installing another ball catch into a new LB next week. I'd also like to install the trench tool.

Nice to see you back NealCassidy. Thanks for the vid. I have not posted any pics just due to general paranoia. The ball catch is still working perfectly. I used a drill press and a brad point drill bit. That allows perfectly straight drilling, and precise hole placement. Installing the...

The coconut oil is solid under 70-75 degrees or so. The heat from your hand will melt it. Het it a little warm and rub the oil on the wood with a paper towel. That's all. Just a bit to rub in. I clean my MFLB with a wet towel or paper towel. Sometimes a drop of dish soap, but usually just a...

If security wasn't such an issue I'd do it for free. It's not hard with the tools

I drink organic raw milk if that says anything. Just an fyi, epoxy cures to a very stable platform. Off-gassing is during the cure only. After that it's entirely stable. UV light is the biggest enemy after that. Otherwise molecularly stable

I see "glue" and "Epoxy" being used as if there's something inherently unhealthy. There isn't. The less than 1 drop of epoxy is at the bottom of the drilled hole. No heat, no exposed anything.

There are much less expensive ball catches (I've seen brass ones for under $5... mine's stainless steel which isn't needed) and I also bought from the manufacturer and they're always higher than their distributors. I didn't care, as I was hot for a solution. The rounded brass button should...

Some of the units apparently are OK. Some may just smell a little. Some smeel very, very bad. Follow the many posts from many people in this thread and you'ss see what I mean. The smell isn't a personal preference sort of thing. When they smell, they smell very bad. Hazardous sort of smell. THe...

You would want the ball catch. It really is an elegant solution. It's in the front corner of the LB so it has the most leverage to stay shut. The ball is on a spring, so it gets depressed until it is under the small round area I made in the lid. Then it clicks into place. No marks on the lid...

I agree. I did the ball catch modification and am really thrilled, but that process is not for the feint of heart. The placement of the hole is critical. The leverage is maxed but the risk is large, though I would certainly do it again for friends, as I now know what to do. No glue, by the way...

Thanks a lot man. Very cool of you and Max to provides the details.

It really is. Non-hydrogenated is the way to go. Natural, without some corporation changing the molecules.

It's a very smart idea to oil the wood. I might suggest not using Olive Oil, especially EVOO as it will turn rancid. I'm not a big fan of the Butcher Block Oil, as it's made from petroleum, however if you can find natural coconut oil, that will survive much better. I have organic coconut oil...

Max, you prefer the Sharp Crusher over the Chromium Crusher? I'm using a MFLB and like the smallest grind. I won't use an electric. I'd like the 4-piece rather than 2-piece to collect kief. My little 2-piece nano ball works but is such a small diameter it's a little akward. The holes / teeth...

Or maybe a potential manufacturer might want some market feedback from his exact target audience. I sure hear what you're saying, though. I think the device is top shelf, which is why I had it on my Christmas list. I admire the work and the craft.

I'm the kind of guy that will spend embarrassing money if there's a value in my mind. After using the MFLB for a few months, I find myself not wanting much more. The cube is very nice, but not $500 nice in my opinion. There's also perceived value. The Volcano and the cube have different...
