I have a pepper grinder. It's great, but it's tiny and holds like 2 tablespoons of peppercorns and I'm constantly refilling the thing.
So I bought what I thought was a half decent bigger pepper grinder with a ceramic grinder in it... and it worked great for like a week and then it stopped grinding. I took the thing apart and the upper part of the center grindey part had all broken off and wasn't feeding pepper down into the main grindey part anymore, and I'd probably been eating ceramic bits. great...
"I know, I'll throw a new, high quality pepper grinder mechanism in it"... so I looked at what Lee Valley offers for those and measured the grinder, nope, not gonna fit without a bunch of work and it's probably just easier to just make a whole entire pepper grinder. Hang on, I know a random asshole with a workshop and a lathe that's constantly showing off woodworking porn, maybe they can make me one!
And I'm sure making a half dozen of them is barely more effort than making 1 of them, so maybe we can all throw in and get some made for ourselves.
- I certainly want a pepper grinder that's not a piece of shit.
- I know @fly / @APRIL are a couple of foodies that would use one with pride.
- @Valve1138 would happily brag about his high end pepper grinder while he seasons his burnt ass pizzas with it.
- If it's high quality and made out of wood, I know @Domon is gonna throw in.
What do you think, @Mustard Dispenser ?
