Pepper Mill

[reefboy1]

Hi all,

Just wanted to share my weekend project. My first attempt at a peppermill. It's a 6" version from a CSUSA kit. The wood is oak and birch that I had laying around for years. I glued them together and then turned them at an angle. CA finish...quite a learning experience. I got familiar with my many new chucks and tools...

Looks really nice. You did a good job on it. The finish looks superb.

Ok, it is official...you are having way to much fun turning. Way to go!

That is Really nice, Art! Now it's your turn to teach me something... I've never made a pepper mill.

Excellent job, Art!! Looks much better than a "first effort"!!


Since there are many new members, since it was last mentioned, I wrote a 10 page or so tutorial on making peppermills. PM me with your email address and I will send it to you, free, as an attachment (pdf format).

Hi Art,

Nice peppermill, when you glue the wood together do you need to run it through a plainer or anything?

Thanks,
David

Thanks all for the comments.

David, no planing. I just cut the peices to size on my radial arm saw, glued them with titebond and clamped.
