A Mill Reborn

[dug]

This is a mill I made from an old washing mangle. She works a treat, though it is hard to crank <_<

The rollers are metal pipe which were pushed over the old rubber ones. The hopper is made from an old laundry cabinet.

I have a brand new handle for a mill like that......... I used it once.

I got a motor!

Much better.

Great work mate....... what a fantastic idea and will work well for you for a long time to come.

I love the ideas that come in on here sometimes.

cheers

Nothing like a few Homebrews to turn anything into something brew related.

Great stuff! Hard to crank....maybe you need to pull the whole thing apart (if you can) and carefully clean all the drive gears and the bearings, give them all a fresh coat of lubricant as well. I am guessing that the bearings (bushes?) are pretty bound up given its age.
