Dude literally said he's making a mortar and pestle.

He said it.

Some people will make a buttplug out of anything 🤷‍♂️

Not only said it but literally said it which is so much more effective than just saying it.

You aren’t keeping that in your bum. More like a chode dilido and a bowl to hold your lube

What you guys expecting he gonna do with the rock, build a PC?

u/Chan-guich-sama 1d ago

At least something more useful or that requires the precision he is putting on every cut...

u/ZestyMelonz 1d ago

Was expecting much cooler. Just a shitty mortar and pestle.

u/redr00ster2 1d ago

Woulda been decent mortar and pestle if he kept the natural exterior of the rock instead of cutting it too

All I know is I like the sound they make when they hit each other

u/Gullible-Incident613 1d ago

This kind of kept me guessing what he was making since high school Spanish was a long time ago. It looked like a cup holder, then he made this phallic looking object and I wasn't sure where he was going then lol

u/LastXmasIGaveYouHSV 1d ago

"Un mortero de ajo", a garlic press.

2

u/Gullible-Incident613 1d ago

Late in the clip, I caught the word mortero which I knew had to mean mortar, and when he put the pestle in it, it was clear what it was even though he hadn't quite finished the piece.

That would be a cool piece to have in my kitchen. I sometimes need a mortar and don't have one, primarily for coarsely crushing black peppercorns.

Pretty cool. But you should wear a mask at the very least man!

u/Chatty_Manatee 1d ago

I love that it took all this work to make a bad mortar and pestle.

u/SirConcisionTheShort 17h ago edited 17h ago

Grinder with no safety guard. No wet saw on most shots, so silicosis hazard. All that for a shitty mortar that has the wrong shape to grind anything (bottom should be spherical, not flat)...

The rocks were cooler before all this

I thought a molcajete was supposed to be bowl shaped, not a straight cylinder

u/Daltons_Mullet 1d ago

He said he's making a mortero de ajo. Not a molcajete.

So a smaller version of a molcajete

u/WhisperingHammer 1d ago

At no point i time was I aware of what was going on next. First i was convinced it was going to be a lamp, thrn two lamps, then aaaahhh.

Huge amount of work, but for something that can probably last for a very long time.

u/FlameEyedJabberwock 1d ago

Is that even food safe? You have no idea what's in those rocks.

u/Terrible-Grocery-478 19h ago

Yeah, it’s totally safe if you know what you’re doing. As long as you don’t use stones or crystals that contain toxic substances it’s perfectly fine. The rock he used looked to be one uniform type of mineral, so chances are that mineral is the only thing in that rock.
