The whole thing is covered in gook, the plug has pliers marks, and the grinder&#8217;s plastic ring is coming off.  I&#8217;m sure in the right hands it will come out looking great. Very nice.  I think this is a great indication of the prominence of JHQ&#8217;s design and increasing recognition of the value of his work.  Expect to see a few more of these popping up soon!<\/p>\n<p>Even though it may seem like the mills are getting expensive, that doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s impossible to start a collection.  I won an auction for a Rare Woods wenge tray today &#8211; for $19 &#8211; because nobody bid against me.
