It looks like a toaster oven and has a rotisserie drum inside. There&#8217;s a motor turning the drum slowly to keep the beans agitated. It has little paddles inside the cage to keep the beans\u00a0from falling in a pattern. It has\u00a0two big halogen heating lamps in the back of the unit.\u00a0 &#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.quickresapp.com\/img\/appicon512@2x.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"425\" height=\"425\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.quickresapp.com\" target=\"_blank\">QuickRes<\/a> $5<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a little dock icon that lets you pick the resolution on the Macbook screen. You can pick any of a dozen resolutions that are good for the retina display, or you can set it up so that at \u00a0the press of a button it will flip between two or three different presets that you&#8217;ve chosen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/ecx.images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/71MGT4YE-zL._SL1500_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"393\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B00LE9HFNQ\/cooltools-20\" target=\"_blank\">Wooden Gymnastics Rings<\/a> $33<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve started using gym rings instead of a pull up bar or almost any other equipment to do things like dips. I also drop them way down to the ground and do push-ups on them. You&#8217;ll wobble like crazy, and that forces you to engage all types of stabilizing muscles.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/ecx.images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41bZdz3%2BvmL.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"422\" height=\"371\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B0002JFMIO\/cooltools-20\" target=\"_blank\">6\u201d Digital Calipers<\/a> $13<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know why I went so long without having these, but I got a few years ago. It&#8217;s\u00a0a really cheap set of digital calipers that can measure up to 6 inches of inside diameter, or outside diameter, or the depth of something. It has a depth gage tail that swings out as you roll the head of the thing along the shaft. It has a digital read out. You can switch between inches and millimeters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Edgar Park &#8211; Cool Tools Show #28<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":79,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[1559],"tags":[1555],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24153"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/79"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24153"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24153\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24176,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24153\/revisions\/24176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
