    Default my first silky mill

    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
