I like the way you explained everything I am a fairly new turner and want to make a set of pepper and salt grinders and you showed me I could do it Thank you
Eddie's right about checking the measurements - the instructions do have some errors regarding sizes of holes but my peppermill kit from Turners Retreat did need a 1 1/16th hole so I drilled 1" and opened the bottom inch out another 1/16". I also copied the recess in the top to hide the join and it does look a lot better. Thanks Eddie, I really enjoy your videos and have a chuckle at the same time as learning some great tips.
I had no idea, I have a whole pack of specially calibrated hole bottom finder devices!!!! I got'em when my son started school. Super funny, thanks for your awesome videos
Thank You sir for sharing and for all of your help, your time, and knowledge. I've been thinking real hard about trying this type of craft work.I have just started getting into wood carving( Coast Salish/ Pacific Northwest Tribal Carvings) for my enjoyment. I must say you do Some great videos and some good (campy) entertainment as well, keep up the good work, getting ready to watch the next one.Thanks.
Just a suggestion here Cap, do like I do, paint your drill shaft white and lay out 1/2 " marks up to what you feel is far enough, I use nail polish so it stays and then I use a clear nail polish when my layout lines dry, works like a dream.Thanks for sharing, hope you're feeling better.
Thanks Cap, that was a nice one, I learned several little tidbits. I was pretty close to your house the other day at the Lowes, not sure how close that is, but anyway I was thinking about you. I was buying a H
After being away from wood turning for 20+ years, I am back. I am spending a lot of time on you tube, and I find you are one of the best. Finding good wood is a problem for me. Last week-end, I found 30+ very old cedar fence post on some land my son-law bought. I would say 75+ years. What do you think of turning items from red cedar? Thank you.
It’s always useful to watch several videos as you gain something from every one- things to do and things not to do. As a beginner (I made tobacco pipes successfully for years but the skills I taught myself were very specific) I’d say you can get tips from how he uses his turning tools. However, using that silly great big long drill bit setup is just odd. From what I learned in my time making pipes, a big long drill bit is just a recipe for trouble. You need your cutting tool shank to be as short as possible to maintain accuracy.
I continue to find important insights each time I watch the Big Guy. Thank you Captain Eddie.
I love your shop. So many craftsmen on line seem to be working in an operating room where as yours looks like it is being worked in. Love your channel
I watched this in 2015 and made a few pepper mills but how I needed a refresher. Thank you once again you are the best.
I like the way you explained everything I am a fairly new turner and want to make a set of pepper and salt grinders and you showed me I could do it Thank you
I started turning about 5 months ago and can't tell you how much I appreciate and enjoy your videos. Big salute to you Cap! Thanks so much.
I stumbled upon this video, it mesmerized me.I am in awe it is so simple for Capt. Eddie.
One of the best peppermill turning videos
Cap'n Eddie - thanks for the video and all the hints and how to use the cutting tools - about to make the leap from pens.
Thank you for all that you do to help us new guys Brother
Great show and tips for improving both me as a turner and the making of the peppermill and it's design.
Capt. Eddie ,

Thank you Capt. I was wondering how these were made, perhaps I'll try it in the future. Very good video.

raztuss Kiki,
Nice video, and I liked the close imaging. What is your finish for the pepper mill?
Thanks for this video. Very informative, like paper to tighten up homemade spindle. I have not made a peppermill. I would like to soon.
Thanks Cap, that was a nice one, I learned several little tidbits. I was pretty close to your house the other day at the Lowes, not sure how close that is, but anyway I was thinking about you. I was buying a H

Check out Lee Valley Tools - they have a 1 1/16" bit.
I a few miles up the highway, pass by. If the shop door is open, I'm awake.
loved the video, but would have liked to see it in action.
if you're going to build it, why not show it in use?
