Hi there.  Here is my two cents on the subject.

I have used the grinders and they are ok.  I don't have, but have used a
food processer and that is one reason I don't have one, I have used a morter
and pesel with grand success and sore arms, I have used a hammer, I have
used a metal flattener, I have even gone so far as to run over a bag with a
steam roller (dry run)(no kidding!)which actually worked rather well.  And
**THAT** is why I buy the #10 7 pound can of already made paste.  Besides,
what I pay for 7 pounds already made is so much cheaper than the whole nuts.

Olwen, they don't call me odd for nutin!
