CrushGrind mill

[Bobby McCarley]

I finally got around to trying out the crushgrind mill mechanism. This will be a salt grinder and I am going with a chess theme, The Queen. It is laminated maple with a poly finish. Although I like the mechanism, they are a little more work in my opinion. I will make the King next, out of a piece of Texas ebony that I have.

Nice looking piece. I a newbie so I gotta ask, did you use the indexing pins on the lathe to make the crown? If not, how did you do that. Very interesting.

I love it... really nice idea for a chess fan! Looking forward to seeing the king...

Great concept and excellent workmanship! Looking forward to seeing the King!

Thanks for the comments, they are appreciated.
Doug, I don't have indexing on my mini. I just divided the top of the crown into sections by eyeballing it and then drew the scallop edges. I then took a dremel and shaped the edge and sanded.
Getting an indexing wheel for the lathe is on my list of things to get.

Again, thanks for the comments.
