re: Salt and pepper grinders

These are very nice RyanGi! I was looking at HobieKen's posting yesterday and got interested in these for a project for a couple family members this year and I was looking at the kits on various sites and reading the instructions and the reviews. I usually follow the instructions the first time then modify from there. There were two complaints from reviewers - one was the mechanism binding inside which Kenny cleared up. The other was when you turn the ends of the blank down to the recommended size per the instructions there is almost nothing left and the failure rate is high. I love the way you left extra material on the top and the bottom and added the details to make it look attractive. I was contemplating something similar and trying to visualize what it would look like, you beat me to it. Thanks.
