Since there was interest in a group buy for peppermills, I decided to attempt to allow those who want to try making mills to purchase one of the best, at a lower cost per unit.
The peppermill that I have chosen is the one I used when we did shows. It is made in the USA for a company called Chef Specialty. Years ago (around 2000) there was a contest in France for restaurant peppermills. Chef Specialty was the winner. I contacted them and bought their mechanisms and have been doing so, ever since.
It is a stainless steel grinder. I have one I use every night that is about 15 years old. Still works perfectly.
The shaft can be cut and re-peened (PDF instructions are on the page) to fit any size mill you create.

So, I have instituted a quantity discount at 7 pieces, which will allow you to purchase the kit for $9.95. Here is your opportunity to make mills.
The picture on the front of the 10 page illustrated instructions will show you the laminated mills I made. I sold them for $10 an inch---10 inch mill was $100. Because they were "glued up" exotic woods, the cost of the wood was less than purchasing 12/4 stock, and the multi-color effect brought lots of attention to the booth.
Give it a try!!
