- I show how to turn a pepper mill on a lathe. This is a great beginner project and makes a great gift.
The pepper mill kit was furnished by chefwarekits.com/
Nick Cook's article in Spring 2004, American Woodturner was a great resource

Mike, thank you for sharing. Your video was very informative on how some of the tools work and how to get the results you want. This is a great project, thank you.
Thanks, Eddie. Stay safe.
i would like to thank you for sharing your knowledge on woodturning i watch all of your videos thanks again
Happy to do it. Stay safe my friend.
Nice job Mike. I have turned dozens of pepper/salt mills but there is always something to be learned. Thank you for a year of great videos. I look forward to see what you have in store for 2020. Have a Happy New Year.
Thanks, Dan. Happy 2020 to you also.
Great looking mill Mike! Thanks for sharing!...Bruce
very nice mike i hope you had a wonderful christmas buddy . lol your bloopers cracked me up buddy . here's to a great new decade .
Thanks, Mike! We were just talking about these the other day!
Another great video 👍thanks mike
Thanks Mike Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
And to you too, Donald.
Thanks Mike
Great job pepper mill.
This video was just in time!
This video is about two weeks late, I just turned my first three mills for presents! Crushgrind mechanisms work well. Used bubinga for one and it is gorgeous but such a pain to turn! Congrats Mike and Happy New Year!
Well, your video would have been better with 3 under your belt compared to my none! Anything you would have done differently after watching mine?
Mike Peace Woodturning Nope. Crushgrind mechanism requires a little bit different approach so not apples to apples. But what i did like was you using the skew to face off the end grain. I really struggled with gouges doing this and got a few catches and run backs. My first one wasn’t very pretty!
Amazed this is your first time peppermill! They are super handy and folks LOVE the crush grind mechanism btw, I had requests this holiday season. Crush grind is a bit pricey at $15 but worth the smiles
Btw I really like the inclusion of the bloopers, brilliant!
A bit of a gimmick I suppose to increase watch time. I will try a few times and see how it works out.
Great video my friend Mike
Thanks for watching.
Mike -- Thanks for the inspiration and the reminder. One of my first turning projects was a pepper mill. I bought a dozen kits and roughed out the blanks. After turning the first two, I got distracted by other things and the kits and blanks have never been united! The blanks are somewhere in my stack of wood. I'm sure I can find them. (The kits might be a little harder to locate.)
Oh, something shiney...! I hear ya.
"Turned" out great!
A method I used when making a few pepper mills that wouldn't fit between centers when all I had was a smaller lathe was to turn the top on my pen mandrel after drilling it. It also gave better access to the top and bottom for finishing. After doing 3 of them, It did chew up my non stick bushings though...
You prolly dont give a damn but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid lost my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Declan Clyde Instablaster :)
@Kevin Noe thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Kevin Noe it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account :D
@Declan Clyde Glad I could help =)
Nice project Mike. Looks straight forward and relatively easy. My problem is that I have five large segmented bowls to get to before I can think about anything else. Thank you for 2019. Have a Happy New Year. Here's looking to 2020.
Sometimes you need a to do list, even if you are retired! Yo are retired, right?
Next week I will be retiring from my second career. I retired the first time 25 years ago.
Morning mike!
Good morning to you too.
Thank you for the video. I'm faced to trying to do my 1st grinders and have watched bunches of videos, you've made it easier to under stand, especially about removing the tenons. I noticed what looks like towards the end that the body appears with the tenon again. Maybe a retake for video edit move. Thanks again for your help.
Thanks. I could not find what you wer referring to. A Min mark wood be helpful. I have the wood drive center. Could that have confused you. I taper the bottom to eliminate the original tenon.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning What I noticed is that you started to remove bottom tenon at time 12:35 then the top tenon at 13:00, but at 13:48 the tenons are back on the body. Sorry for nick-picking.
@@MrBeechcrafter No worries. At 13:48 what might look like a tenon on the chuck side is the wooden drive that fits into the bottom hole. The top tenon is the tenon on the cap which I put on the base for turning.
Just a heads up on one thing I have found out about pepper mills: With the solid wood top they tend to be top heavy. So having the base a bit wider will make it more stable. Also the mortise at the bottom should not be too thin in case it does tip and crack the base. My tipped over, hit the floor and cracked. Live and learn.
Thanks for the advice!
Just getting ready to do this! How timely!

Hey Mike, since you have done one of these now and have a finished one would you do another video and use the the finished one as a prop so we can see how it should look? Does that make sense? I thought I was paying attention but it seemed like I missed part of it.
I did another YT video on turning a Pepper Mill ua-cam.com/video/K1Uky6V4CKA/v-deo.html
Mike I hope you don't think I was being critical of your video? I just was being thick headed I think. I enjoy all of your videos and hope you keeping going. I saw a video the other day where a guy was making pigs and chickens on a lathe. Quite interesting.
@@williamdodds6104 No worries, friend.
