For me, the thing that takes me most by surprise is the service toss. It's really quite strange to...

I'd love to see closer pictures of how the string dispenser is designed. Does it have an automatic cutter? Is there a clever mechanism to measure length? It might sound fanciful, but a man with a...

I guess we're open to comments, so here are my thoughts.
