Mine hasn’t even been belted up and I’ve already been told it’s annoying

LOL wait till you're running it hour after hour :)

Haha, I was told it was annoying while watching your video with my iPad speakers cranked up... then I told her I had one on the way  ;D ;D  :D

The dogs at first thought it was someone knocking on the door....it was bedlam until they realised it wasn't.

How many days have you waited now Nick?

Mine is here, took one month... Haven’t had a chance to belt it up, but I have turned the pulley many times  ;)

Its addictive isn't it  ;)

Oh yes... I’m a “Flywheel Turner”   ;)  :D

Its hard to walk past the stamper without putting your finger in one of the flywheel holes and just giving it a few (or more) turns  ;D

Music to my ears  ;D

Do you think you could crush peppercorns and end up with coarse ground pepper with that set-up?

Great idea!! I might have to try that out too  8)

I'm looking forward to mine arriving someday, I think they're still sitting in Aussie jail.

My last 4 orders from Trev have taken one month + or - a day or two. But I was checking the tracking every day hoping for some action

Very nice video Jim , the clarity is quite good , I'm looking forward to mine arriving someday, I think they're still sitting in Aussie jail.

They should be getting close Bruce

You could always add head weights to the top of the stamp rods to get more "Hit" out of them, just so long as you had enough engine powering them to make the extra lift. I'm sure that Huxtable is up to handling quite a bit of added weight!

What a pair ...... but that Huxtable makes the gold stamper look tiny!

Interesting idea Daniel, I was thinking of making up a small oblong box the diameter of the bottom brass section to be able to fill it with something, I hadn't thought of peppercorns though.
There's a bit weight in those brass stampers.
