Anybody want to try to receive it???

I suspect many e-mail systems will reject it and I don't know enough about acrobat to trim down the file.

Send me a PM, if you think you can receive (and want to) the file.

Right click on the following link and 'Save As' the pdf file to your computer. 7MB in size.

Downloaded from host server with no problems... very quick in fact. Thanks to both of you for making it available. Want to read it in depth. Looks very informative and will be of use as the wife wants a peppermill also.

Thanks Ed for making this, just downloaded and read through it. Sure wish I had it back last Christmas when I was making my first few sets. Also thanks to Jim for hosting the download.

Two thoughts after reading through it- First, really like the idea of buying longer shafts than needed and trimming to fit. Getting the grinder body the right length was one of my big fears. I considered if I needed to cut it short I could rethread, but peening would be quicker and easier. Good idea!

I looked where you talked about makng the inset for the bottom mechanism using a router, which I have never tried. I did it with a Forstner bit before drilling the main hole, and luckily I thought to do it first. I saw that you mentioned that if drilling it needed to be done first but you mentioned it AFTER drilling the main hole. If you re-edit you may mention that before so those folks that don't read all the instructions BEFORE starting will see it (and you know who you are[;)]).

Really did a good job on this, and I did mention it this morning at our monthly local AAW meeting. Thanks for taking the time to write it and making available!

Must be the season for peppermills. Just got my Packard Woodworks mag and they showed some winners of their peppermill contest. I really thought the "pepper"mill was unique. Here is the link for more pics.http://www.woodcentral.com/contests/turning4/

Ray,

(Insert "comical" tone of voice, please)
I realized that I could edit the tutorial with the information about drilling as I was writing. Then the little 'devil' [}:)][}:)]on my left shoulder whispered, "If they don't even take the time to READ this before they start, let 'em make a mistake!!!" Of course, that was the day my angel was on vacation, [:0][:0]so no OTHER little voices intervened.[:(][:(]

That is, unfortunately, the TRUE story of why that was not edited. If my "angel" ever comes back from vacation, I will work on an edit. Meanwhile, people who don't READ first, get their JUST REWARDS!!!

Yes, I am a guy,

NO, I DON'T read first

Yes, I HAVE redone things hundreds of times, as a result!!![:D][:D][:D]

Took me over a week to write and photograph - spend five minutes - READ first!!

To the many of you who have posted here or written me e-mails - YOU'RE VERY WELCOME!!!

It's always nice to receive "Thank-you's", but I really look forward to seeing the peppermills with the note - followed Ed's tutorial and THINGS WENT GREAT!!!!

Marketing tip: I am SELLING only the "glued up" versions (which START at $50), even though I display Walnut, Maple, Mahogany, Oak and Cherry that are solid wood. If you are making to sell, a "glue-up" is the better path.

How many of these $50.00 pepper mills do you sell in a year Mr. Brown?

Real Nice Ed, I know what it takes to put something like this together.

I reduced your PDF to about 340K, would you want a copy?

EDIT IN:

I sent a copy to Ed, please contact him for a copy.
Thank you for understanding

Thank you Jim for coming to our assistance when the project started.

Thanks to Ron in Drums for "downsizing" the file. I am happy to say it can be sent VERY quickly.

As usual, everyone has been VERY helpful and thanks to those who have said they will try the tutorial.
