Yeah, it's amazing

Luckily managed to find one in Norwich second hand as I couldn't really justify buying a new one. They're so well built and serviceable that apart from a small scuff or two, it doesn't make much difference.

How do you get on with the hand grinder? Is it fairly quick? Might be worth investing in as I'm away from home for about 6 months of 2013.
