  2. At least this is easier than last week’s.


  3. too easy… but still good


  4. I think it’s an overcomplicated stationary pepper grinder. I hope to see these in restaurants soon.


  5. too easy, I work with CNC ;P


  6. This is a *** *** ***. They are used for ** ** all sorts of things like ***. They are more accurate then *** and have less ** because of the *** that are mounted on the *** (the enlarged part that is nearest to the viewer of the picture).
