I followed the directions. On both the pepper and salt mills, the stock was longer than the square rod by 1/4". Luckily, by using a collet chuck with a 1/4" bolt, I was able to take a 1/4" off the bottom of the tops which made the inside tenons a little longer. I would add a step to check the overall length of your project in relation to the rod length before finishing and assembly.
Mike: how do u deal with eccentricity on the coupling of the top to bottom pieces? No matter how careful I am in aligning pieces, there is always some run out. When I move the tailstock in and out there can be a problem with slop of 1/10” or more from centerline which does not help. Is there a mandrel similar to pen mandrels but for larger diameter from 1-3” or?
Nice and very informative video. Couple of questions about Deft Clear Wood Finish: 1) is it food safe? 2) is it used as a sealer only or can be used a a final coat finish? Are you shipping to Canada? Thanks
Thank you for watching! Deft is food safe after 30 days and it's mainly used as a sealer to keep oil finishes from darkening the wood, but it can be used as final finish too. Here's a link to our Deft and Oil video for more clarification. th-cam.com/video/uw0kszxzqas/w-d-xo.html
I know this an old video and I'm just starting to turn a mill. The problem I have is I see no instruction as to when to get rid of the tenons you cut as described in the instruction sheet (v 8.16). my guess is that once you drill the holes in both the mill head and mill body you can remove the tenons. Would this be correct. Thanks for the help and support.
I haven't turned salt/pepper mills before and want to make a set as a Christmas gift. To people typically make the salt mill smaller than the pepper? Or is that just personal preference?
If the body ends up too short, why did you cut the non-threaded end? I would think an easy solution is to cut the top to size and rethreat using the appropriate die?
Good morning, I want to know where to buy only the grinding mechanism, I have a lathe, I'm retired and would like to sell, could you help me. thank you. Brazil.

If you like the video, give it a thumbs up and feel free to leave any comments.
This has got to be the best instructional video around.
What a funny coincidence, I am making one out of walnut today when I get home from work. Hopefully Mike, it will be as nice as yours!
It will :)
Great video Mike, you always explain the process so nicely.
Thank you.
I love your simple easy to follow instructions..looks great!
Thank you.
Excellent video! Thank you for making it! Helps a lot!
Mike You just simplified the making of the peppermill 👍

Thanks for the tip at the end about shortening the rod. I was seriously sweating the length and was basing my whole design around that.
thank you very much for sharing. I really appreciate your explanations.
You're very welcome.
You guys make great videos.
Thank you. We’re trying really hard to help our fellow woodturners.
Great job. Thanks. Turning my first one tomorrow, on my Birthday!! Ya. Thanks
Nice video I need a little more work on my editing. Nice job
You didn't mention removing the tenon from the bottom of the body. Probably should be done before mounting on waste block. Great design.
Good observation. While turning the mill body to shape at 6:31 we incorporated the tenon into the shape to maintain our overall length.

Please call us at 1-800-551-8876 and ask for Mike. There's a lot of variables here that need to be addressed. Thanks.
awesome video, thank you
Great video, what did you end up doing with the tenons you cut earlier?
Well explained ! Love it!
Thank you!
Excellent video

Glad it was helpful! 😊

It's mostly preference, but keep in mind that we offer more sizes in pepper mills, so that can affect the set as well.
What do you recommend as a replacement for the Deft Clear Wood Finish?
If the body ends up too short, why did you cut the non-threaded end? I would think an easy solution is to cut the top to size and rethreat using the appropriate die?
Most turners don't have the correct die, so we showed the easiest method.
Muy bonito y.bien echo 👍🇪🇸
What kit number is this. Can you use the same mechanism for salt and pepper
I know this is a little late to comment on, but it can't hurt. Why when I turn the head and body together, they shift and don't line up?
Muy buen video claro y preciso, gracias
Good morning, I want to know where to buy only the grinding mechanism, I have a lathe, I'm retired and would like to sell, could you help me. thank you. Brazil.
Muito bem explicado ,parabéns
No instructions with mine. I had to go find them on your web site. And they aren't quite like the kit I received.
Did you remove the tenon on the top of the body and if so at what point in turning the kit did you remove it?
Thanks for the videos!.
Good observation. While turning the mill body to shape at 6:12 we incorporated the tenon into the shape to maintain our overall length.
What’s the standard blank size?
You stated the length of the blank but what is the width?....I'm a noob so I need al the help I can get.....lol
