my first silky mill

[mkypenturner]

hi guys
finally decided to have a go at doing a peppermill and went the crushgrind type
its out of some very old silky oak from when my grandfather was a tafe teacher ( he past away 35 yrs ago ) reasonably happy with the shape as was trying to copy a design i had seen a few years ago , finished with acrylic laquer , just haven't assembled it yet as just finished the last coat

your thoughts welcome on this

Hi Troy,
Looks good.
Did you use all those imperial bits as recommended or metric ones? If metric which sizes did you use?
Getting all those imperial sizes is a pain and costly as well.
Thanks.
Phil
