PRESENTATION:

There was a virtual presentation by Sam Lavers from Crush Grind.

Showed the different ceramic grinders that are available, some examples and how to install. Learned something new too – you do not have to have a lathe to make a pepper mill.  It can be done on a drill press and make it square or out of a tree limb.
