Pepper Grinder Completion

Okay, I've been lazy with my posts to this blog. Yes, I finally completed the second pepper grinder. Here is a picture of main body, after sanding, on the lathe.


Here is the head. This is the part you twist to grind the pepper. You can see the little tiny piece of wood still attached to the top of the head. The trick is to get this as tiny as possible without breaking it. Then you just pop it off and sand down the area by hand.

The final step is to epoxy the grinder mechanism into the body and head.


Does it work. Yes, it works great. It has room for improvement though. I'm going to put the lathe projects on hold for a bit and start working on the next project, the coffee table. See next post.
