Antique Salt & Pepper Mills – Available in Metal or Ceramic Grinder
Have you ever wanted to turn a traditional salt or pepper mill but felt unsure about the process? Now you can, with our Antique Hand Crank Grinder Kit — a simple and rewarding project for any woodturner.
Designed to pair with any 3" x 3" wood blank (cut to your preferred length), simply drill a 1"-diameter hole through the center to allow the contents to pass through. Mount the blank between centers using a jamb chuck, turn your desired profile, sand, finish, and attach the grinding mechanism to complete your custom mill.
Two Grinding Mechanism Options:
-
Metal Grinder (Carbon Steel) – Ideal for pepper only. Traditional grinding performance with a classic bronze finish.
-
Ceramic Grinder – Suitable for both salt or pepper. Corrosion-resistant with the same antique appearance.
Features:
-
Grinder mechanism measures 2" diameter × 4-3/8" tall
-
Antique bronze finish
-
Cast metal body for smooth operation
-
Adjustable finial for coarse to fine grind
Please note: Timber is not included. This is a turning kit — machining and finishing are required. You will need to supply your own timber and turn it on a lathe.
