    I, too, like the Craft Supplies Crush Grind kits. They go together quickly, and I really like the freedom of not having to worry about the top knob. Just make sure you follow the directions :)

    Other than that, I think you nailed the form. It really flows well and has good...

    I decided to omit that step :)

    I finish turned it, then left it in my kitchen for two days before gluing in the mechanism. It went a little oval, but things still fit.

    Thanks for the compliments :) They're oodles of fun to do. I'm never quite sure what they'll look like until they're almost done. It's an organic process - the forms kinda grow on the lathe.
