[QUOTE="Wheel Gun, post: 2302423, member: 19286"] In the cooking thread, I mentioned that I had no way to grind flour. I lamented over the inefficiency of the el cheapo grain mills and the price of the good ones. So that I won't derail that topic, I moved this discussion here. So, why can't I make my own traditional stone mill? Check out the photos below. For centuries, people have been grinding flour/meal between two stones. How about this idea? Just down the road, I've got a granite countertop outfit with a big scrap pile. I'm sure they'd love for me to take some of that off their hands. I should be able to cut some scrap granite into rough circles using a diamond grinding blade. I could then make two heavyish wheels by epoxying some round pieces together. A diamond bit/cutter should be able to make some holes for a handle and a feed hole. These mills have a pattern of grooves on the working side. A 12" homemade flour mill should produce enough fine flour for the two of us. Thoughts? [ATTACH=CONFIG]32549[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]32550[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
