Very nice. have you ever seen a Sears router Crafter? They make spirals really nice and much easier. What did you do to make a pepper mill out of it? With it being hollow inside what helps the pepper?
I’ve always made barley twists by hand to keep my hand skills sharp. However, as I get older the router method does seem more appealing. It’s a major time saver and they come out perfect every time. With this pepper mill the base twisted off to add more pepper. With later versions there’s a clear tube that runs through the center.
It’s to check whether the wood is fully a cylinder without having to stop the lathe. If the wood has flats the tool will bounce and the vibration will be loud. If the wood is a cylinder the tool will rest smoothly on it.
Muy bonito trabajo, gracias por compartir.

Why do you rest the tool on top of the wood when your turning? You’re quite talented! Thank you for sharing your expertise. 🙂
