My first crush grind peppermill, or salt. I must say, the I usually start something new is. I start by doing a little refresher course in searching the web for, one inspiration, and two method. What I found was that there are several sizes differences, not in that it's different from the traditional pepper grinders. There seems not to have a standard unlike the traditional pepper grinders, but each manufacturer has subtle changes in boring sizes. I had also purchased two sightly different grinder mechanisms, and they gave you two different methods of boring whole size and locations. Head twister, so I just got out my vernier calipers, and double checked each portion for a workable size. I then got to the point I had stop. I did not own a drill bit or forstner bit in 1-9/16, nor did I have a tool for the clip in place portion that did want to use. The alternative is to glue the grinder mechanism in place, (messy). So at the last minute I ran down to my locale Woodcraft Store, just before closing to fin a forstner bit, (not quality I wanted) and a 1/4" grooving tool, the was the brand I did like, " Crown". So, I will finish up the peppermill some time in the near future.
Here are some pictures of my progress thus far....
