Very happy to get this set of espresso spoons finished up and off to my customer in Montana for her coffee shop. These were a fun endeavor. I have rarely made spoons this small, and also was a larger count in the set than usual, 15 total. They were made to the customer’s specifications. I like how the round taper down the handles gives the spoon a dainty, yet sturdy feel. The heads were cupped slightly, but not too much, to allow them to be good stirring spoons. I would definitely make this style of spoon again, perhaps with a slightly longer handle. I may end up adding this as a stock item in my shop, so they are readily available to order.

New campfire cooking station! Customer wanted a robust design to last a lifetime of use, so we went with some hefty 3/4” rebar for the post, 5/8” for the handles, and 1/4” plate for the drive-in ground anchors. The flat rack is 22” diameter, and both that and the kettle hanger can swing freely and be quickly height-adjusted by pushing down on the handle. These handles wrap twice around the main post, and when at rest, they use the weight of the pan or kettle to lock in place for cooking. This was not my design, but one that I implemented, and am quite impressed both by how simple it is and how well it works! I do plan to make more of these, and will be available for custom orders.
