POORMANS HERB GRINDER - GoJoeGo



Castor Cups - Floor protectors
1-13/16"



closeup



Add Bud



The pegs line up with each other, so position the top cup to sit just to the side of the bottom one.



Now, place over a tray and move them back and forth and up and down. Since the pegs are the same on both, you can not rotate in a circle but you can make small square movements that grind pretty good.

Dump and enjoy.

Note: This seems like the best place for this thread. If there is another forum that is better suited for it, please move it there.​

Theses castors work pretty good but make sure you have a tray under them to catch anything that falls or jumps out of the sides.

Give it a try. It doesn't replace the real grinders but for 2 bucks you can't go wrong. Well each pair is a buck and you can give one to a friend or just have two sets.

Take care - Joe

What I like to use to make the bud REALLY ground up is a vitamin crusher. What you do is put the bud into a hole that will be closed with a piece that twists into the hole.

It's sort of like a hash press BUT being that it's plant matter, when you take the flattened bud out, it will break into small pieces once you start pulling it apart.

When herb is smoked like this a little goes a long way.

I got my vitamin crusher from gnc.

It's this kind:

how much did it cost? in the uk you can get a nice grinder for about 2 pounds($3.50)

so im not to bothered with the price, thats a great idea though. Its amazing what a stoner can come up with when they need to prepare their weed.

you are right Page1..stoners can think up great ideas and innovations for smoking..every month a new idea hits the market or is suggested here in icmag

in the uk you can get a nice grinder for about 2 pounds($3.50)

a nice one? hmmm I dunno about that .....you definitely can't get a quality grinder for that price...but you can get a crappy Indian made wood grinder with a bad action and or one that has pins that scrape each other when you turn it for that price or a plastic one ...resin sticks readily to those cheap plastic grinders..I'm not a fan of using plastic with my bud

all grinders work, even the cheapest grinder will save resin from flying away when breaking it up and is better than using your fingers or scissors ......but a good quality grinder will have a smooth action and a good feel.

you wouldn't put the cheapest recapped tires (tyres UK spelling) on new Jag, Porche or BMW...why would you want to buy a crappy grinder to use on something as precious as good bud.

a good quality wood grinder costs between $14 ~ $20 ..I've used the same one for years, it's an investment that lasts..every smoker should have one.
