I tried sushi once, almost came right back out. It wasn't so much the filling but the nori....

How is that Salinity tester? I have the Milwaukee and it's OK, it reads 1 point low constantly so I just add a point...I still dont think I should have to do that, sent a few emails requesting to have it calibrated and recived no reply;Sour ..Still in love with your work station, Back walnut & Maple?

I am very happy with the salinity tester. I use the PPT instead of salinity and that is my only beef. If the salinity were to read one more decimal out I would use the salinity. I do cover the reservoir every time I take a reading with small ramekin I also calibrate the tester each time.

As @Simon Cushing cushing would say, "when I go out for take away" I save the napkins and use the napkins instead of paper tower to clean the reservoir. The napkins do a much better job;) That is the first time of have read about issue with the Milwaukee.

I am finding out that with any test to have consistency is to use clean/new tips, syringes, clean surfaces and the tests come out more consistent.

Thank you, the uppers and the desk is made with Makore & fiddle back maple.

I want one!. @jsker how long did it take to build all that? like the doors, solids ?

About three weeks. Yes the doors are solid and lift up with hydraulic hinges. The finish is oiled instead of a varnish. I chose this type of finish for the reason, if it get scratched all one has to do is sand and reapply oil.
