On special occasions I grind coffee beans with a small wooden frame coffee grinder my grandparents got as wedding present sometime in the 1930's. Made and gifted for the couple by the grooms brother.
This might be obvious to you, but dont buy HP laptops. I've twice been tempted by the cheap price, twice I've been burned. Cant wait till this current piece of shit croaks and I have an excuse to buy something stable and without endless amount of bloatware.
Good point, I suppose I'm most interested about the folk remedy/history side of these sort of implements. The idea, manufacture and use is so simple, so it seems impossible not to exist in other places and times.
A pain hook (self-use massage device for the neck and back) made from a pine branch. Snoopy-like dog appeared from the branch while whittling, hence the name.
Lightly stained with walnut colour stain and a light beeswax layer on top of that so it feels smooth on the skin. Handle made from old repurposed leather belt strips.
These pain hooks are an old Finnish and Karelian thing for massaging one's neck and back, and I was wondering if these sort of self-care "devices" are known and in use in other cultures?
