Warning: My grinder's burrs locked up mid-batch this morning

I was grinding 50 grams of a light roast Ethiopian for my morning pour over. Halfway through, the motor just stopped with a loud hum. I unplugged it, took off the hopper, and found the burrs were completely jammed with a rock hard piece of chaff. I had to use a small pick to pry it loose before it would turn again. Has anyone else had a grinder jam on a light roast bean like that?

Can we talk about buying a good dress form early on?

I remember starting out and thinking I could just pin things on myself or use a cheap stand-in. About five years back, I finally dropped around $400 on a solid, adjustable dress form from a local supplier. In my experience, it saved me so much time on fittings and let me see the drape of a garment properly for the first time. Before that, I'd finish a piece and the fit would be off in ways I just couldn't see while working flat. That one tool changed how I approach structure and tailoring completely. Has anyone else found a specific piece of equipment that made that big a difference in their process?
