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

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

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.

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.

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!

Music to my ears  ;D

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

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

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

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

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