I second that accusation. Very cool. Where did you find the grinder?

-- Working on a retirement hobby, only 30 more years to practice!

I really like these , also interested where to get the grinding mechanisms

Rockler has them on sale now for $19.99 and LeeValley sells them for $19.80. Penn State has them for $14.75 but after ordering they email me saying it was out of stock and they didn’t know if they were getting any more.Its a fun project and they make a great gift.

They look great.

I also ordered a few grinders to make these, but they are still waiting for me to start.

We have one of these that is very old. We use it to grind black pepper.

Gorgeous woodwork, and beautiful grinding mechanisms. Cast iron and coated?

Great looking grinders with a look of the past .

Thanks Kiefer

Those are great looking. I am sure that the recipients will be very happy with them.

I was looking at the mechanism on sale at Rockler, and saw this under the “More Info” tab:

Please Note:
Mechanisms are functional but intended for decorative use.

What does that mean? What is your opinion of the quality of the grinding mechanism?

Thanks.

Chuck I don’t know what they mean decorative use. They appear to be a good quality burr grinder. I think that the grinds might not be fine enough for all types of brewing. I have not tried it yet and I use a stove top percolator to brew my coffee. As soon as I get some beans I will try it out.
