Hi! My name is tmorgan and I'm a coffee (snob) addict.

Spousal unit and myself started roasting our own coffee a couple of years ago; started with a hot air popcorn popper and have graduated up to a real live dedicated roaster. Her popcorn had too much of a burnt coffee taste... So here lately the morning routine is - pull a double shot of (insert some outrageous Kenyan coffee name here) and watch Uno, our 1+ week old Muscovy duck go for a swim in our kitchen sink. At 4:15 in the morning right after feeding the mutts of course....

Welcome!

I have been roasting coffee since 1984 and love it!

Have you checked out Sweet Marias?

Thanks y'all!!
We enjoy it. The coffee, the fine feathered friends, the random conversations that take place at BYC. It'll take some time, but I've started back reading this entire thread. First page was a hoot and knew that I'd chime in. Just happened sooner than I expected. Appreciate the kind welcoming words!! Now, back to reading, I mean real work...

Probably where the Machinerys handbook started. Its about six inches by four inches and four inches deep. and the pages are as thin as bible pages..... If you want to build equipment it gives you the foot print and mounting holes for every common piece of equipment... from hydraulic pumps to electric motors and gear driven drives.... even walks you through gear ratios and types of gear reductions.

There is extensive info on bend radiuis for certain materails as well as common screws from english to metric and even Acme Screw drives. Also calculations for reaction loads for I beams and cross sections of most extrusions including section modulus for all sorts of cacluclations to determine if the material is strong enough to do the job you need.

did you know when you bend sheet metal the process stretches the materail..... That stretch can change your whole fit if you dont know how to calculate it out.... or if you dont design it so that the last bend doesnt matter if its an eighth of an inc too long.

It was my bible for about twenty years.... I designed for Sheetmetal, Welded tubular structures, cast iron, Chain Drive equipment, Belt driven equipment and many many mechanisms that interacted with it.

I think you may be right. The description of your book sounds a LOT like mine is your's great great grandpa!!! Tho mine does add things like calculating the square yardage of manure after it tells you how to build the machinery to move it.

Boy, do I wish you were my neighbor! With your brains and our (aka DH and sons) brawn we could build anything!!! (I can come in handy with the hand tools at times too

Hey, tmorgan, pull up a chair and have a cup. All here are coffee afficianados (AKA addicts), you will fit right in.

Oh no!!! I'm outnumbered by afficianados again! I was taught originally to make coffee by my granny who started working along side her mom as a cook in the northern logging camps. To her it was 1/2 lb of coffee, a little salt and a few egg shells all thrown in the bottom of the pot and add water. Boil till you could smell it all the way in the treetops. After my grandad died my uncle took her coffee pot away and made her drink instant. Boy did she hate that stuff!!!
