Cruising the web I ran across a high end hub manf. -Chris King that mad salt shakers from reject hubs. http://www.chrisking.com/store/shakers/index.html
So I got to thinking. Front hub would be easy salt shaker. But then I started thinking to hard. So I decided to make a pepper grinder from a trashed coaster brake hub. Ripped apart and old pepper grinder for the bottom two pieces. Bought some 3/16" square stock and ground the upper portion to fit inside a hollow axle. Soldered it into the hollow axle and assemble. I attached some cutting board on the bottom of the hub to hold the grinder pieces. Works great.
Finished product.
