Took delivery of an Esteem Grinder a couple weeks ago and thought I'd post some pictures of the build. It comes in about 6 boxes in order to save on shipping. The grinder weighs 160 lbs all told, with about another 20 or 25lbs with the horizontal plate and stand. Took about 2 hours to put together, and that was working at a very leisurely pace with a cigar in one hand and a glass of ice tea in the other. :biggrin: So far this has been a pleasure to grind on and Brett Mathews has been great to work with. Any questions, please ask, I'll be happy to answer the best I can.
