No I haven't, but you can get an entire new grinder for less than what you
paid to have it done:

Or you can buy an electric grinder, which can cost quite a bit more:

Or, you could get one of these machines, which I have my heart set on
eventually:

"When in doubt, heat it up and hit it with a hammer."
 Blacksmith's credo.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.

Never a horse that cain't be rode,
And never a rider who cain't be throwed....
