most grinders are very small anyways. i wouldnt know how to make a homemade one though.

I don't think you can make one, but I'm sure you can find a good substitute for an actual weed one.

Almost everyone has a wire mesh strainer! Just let your pot get a bit dry and rub it through. Stems and seeds stay in the strainer, finely flaked pot falls through. And since it is a perfectly legitimate kitchen utensil, no need to hide it! Put the sifted pot in a baggie or jar and add a couple of drops of water to restore any lost moisture. Hippies used to do it this way back in the day. - Granny:hippy:

worried about the smell, i guess it wouldnt be that bad on a mesh strainer. after rubbing it through, would there be a lot of the smell in the air? idk i usually just pick through it outside

its not a grinder, but it works... ive seen my friends do it....

get a small jar and put the nug in the jar.....
get some scissors and just kinda chop the weed into small pieces... or until it is finely "ground" or "cut"....

ive seen my friend do it once and it works great...

Budsmokers got the idea. I used to have an electric grinder but that broke so I went back to my trusty scizzors, they are just a little pair about 8cm long. They work like a dream. I have been using them for about 6 months now and havnt bothered to buy a new grinder they are so good. They give you good control over how you want you bud to be.

I dont do it how budsmoker said though. I just get a nug in my hand and start nibbling away at it over a A4 size magazine or similar. Also try to cut using the part of the scizzors nearest the joint. Hope this helps.

well, you could probably come up with something using scissors. use your imagination! you wont be able to make a grinder like youll buy in a store, so make something totally new!

another idea i just had is if you had two blocks of wood with alottttt of little nails through them, you could put the bud in the middle and smash them together till its ground. it could be kinda hard to get it out tho.

Ummm, ive been chopping piles for almost two years now... Break up your buds and use a really sharp knife.. Dont use a serated blade tho or the buds will stick to it. But whatever i guess.

I've made a grinder heres what you need

1. 2 Gatorade tops
2. Around 20 thumb tacks

Just take the thumbtacks and insert them in the top. Start around the edge and go in a circle until you reach the middle, then do the same with the other top. Now once you have the tacks in place, set one top on top of the other and make sure to turn it and if it doesn't turn figure out the problem which will probably involve moveing a tck or two. Once they fit each other, bend the outside of one so the other one can fit inside and it should work. I hope that wasn't confusing cause I'm high as shit. But there you go a homemade grinder
