home made grinder?

[awry]

did anyone here construct a home made grinder out of household items?

or the majority of you arent that cheap

I havent heard of anyone making their own grinder, and personally I wouldnt try it unless you have skills in that area. I bought my grinder for 10 bucks at a smoke shop for tobacco. They dont have to be expensive. I have heard about people using coffee bean grinders for their nugget, but I've heard that method is best for when making brownies.

I find it more fun to break apart my nugget, but I tend to do things the more difficult way.

I thought about making one on my CNC mill, but the time to cut stock and runn a code would take longer than my job pays by the hr and I can more cheaply go buy one. But I thought mabey a giant one powered by a small gasoline engine. hmmm

As Amd states its not a trivial task, even for a CNC. But with careful design work it can be done fairly simply. The CNC programing is the easy part. The engineering, is the tricky part.

But, grinding isn't the greatest thing to do. Break up your bud just prior to smoking. Can't be *that* much work. Hell, I grind my coffee at 4 cups worth at a time. I like the freshness.


(now trimming a harvested plant(s)/buds is a different story)

Double-shot shot glass + scissors = no grinder needed.

there was an article in skunk magazine recently where one was made with cardboard, nails and an altoids tin.

lol that is 1 good idea, to use an oldschool altoids tin, and put nails.. hmmm


grinding it just breaks it up really well? or does it like get juices goin or somthing crazy like that?

just breaks it up, but it comes out really nice. burns more evenly.
