<Put THAT in your food processor and dice it>

 Does anyone have experience making sesame paste (tahini)
 from sesame seeds?
 What is the most effective, easily obtainable, device to use?
 I tried using my Salton peanut butter maker, but the results 
 were a little disappointing, and it went incredibly slowly.
 When I cleaned the machine, it turned out that the plastic feed 
 tube from the nut holder (it feeds the nuts or seeds
 into the grinding mechanism) had been chewed up somehow.

 The problem seems to be that sesame seeds are so small.
 Has anyone tried a spice grinder or coffee grinder?

 Thanks,
