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.

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!

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

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
