Um.. What is that device?

Looks like Roster's butt plug remover to me.

It is a ‘press mold’. I am not sure what use it is designed for but it looked like it would work as a device to compress keif. I ‘Rube Goldberg’ stuff all the time. I think it comes from my early career as a process engineer where I would need to improvise methods to make prototypes in order to sell a product to customers. The mold is coming later today so tomorrow I will be able to tell you if it actually works. My gut tells me I will need to press the keif multiple times(press, remove the block of keif, redistribute, press, repeat). I’m thinking I will have to make a parchment paper liner for the mold to prevent sticking. I could use non-stick spray but I don’t want to introduce any impurities into the blocks of keif/hash…

I think he may have been referring to the capo.

I love that pic with the old mag. Gotta love George.

Are ya putting any heat to it?

The press idea worked but as I kind of expected, not as well as I hoped. It is hard to get enough pressure with a bench vise. The squares are pretty dense and the consistency of taffy. Getting the press apart was a bit of a chore. Nothing a rubber mallet couldn’t handle though…

I didn’t but I may repress what I pressed above. My fear about using heat is it may be harder to get apart than it already is.

I bet you are right. My brain isn’t working like it used to…

That’s a nice one, btw. I got a couple laying around, but never really used them.

I use mine pretty frequently(it is a Thalia capo) because I hate Barre chords and using it makes it so I can play songs using chord shapes I am more comfortable with(and still have them in the right key). I use the Ultimate Guitar app for tabs and it lets you transpose songs up or down in steps to change the chord progression. I know I should practice more but I don’t…

I would love to be able to set down and play with you someday.

Smashed the rest of my keif. Wound up with 32 grams.

Rolled up 2 squares into a ‘temple ball’…

This cross is going to be my go-to outdoor grow strain. Bug, PM and Bud Rot resistant. Nice buzz. Gorgeous aroma. Has survived sub-freezing temps. I am contemplating chopping one of the plants today(yes there are 2 plants in the same hole). I am getting to the point where I would be really furious if my neighbors lawn service snatched these from me.
