You're absolutely brillant to think of using granite tile from the hardware store! Getting a proper stone mill can be expensive and the reviews on the steel hand mills aren't looking promising. Not to mention the price on anything that positively will grind wheat to fine flour you're look at the $500 price range everywhere. I'm thinking I will try making the granite stone surface plates affixed to upper and lower cement quern mill. The cement will make a heavy weight but the granite will do the grinding, and I might get away with spending less than $50. I like the horizontal cranking motion. It's so much easier on my bad shoulder. Thank you!
Hi Steve, I´ve been looking for the groove design for quite a while. Now, thanks to you I´ll be able to build my own mill! Thank you Best regards carlos
That would be a nice project for a bread baking machinist (engineer). I’ve been baking whole wheat bread for 20 years+. I also have a machine shop in my backyard. I’ve done experimental machining, model making, and tooling (stamping dies).
Oh man I’ve been a machinist for a hot minute and it never occurred to me to just make whole things for myself instead of modifying parts I need for home projects
Thanks for the video! One of the best that I have watched! It seems that you're Australian! Whatever be the case, your people should be proud of you! Your opinion of being left or right handed so far as the cutting of the grooves, is most agreeable! The detail about the edges of the stone where the grooves stop is educating! The copper screw feed is so correct! Are the stones crowned from the centre to the outer edges, to direct the materials being ground? I can't find your replies to the comments, so I hope all is well with you! Your hard work deserves blessings!
The stones are not crowned ,they are flat. The grooves in the stones push the flour outwards. Some people worry that the stones wear down and you are eating fine sand ,this is not the case as there is flour between the stones at all times.(You don't run the mill empty)
The stones are touching on their flat part not the teeth,and you fill the grain before you start ,this pushes the stones apart. There will be some wear on the stones this is normal.
I would like just the basic top and bottom millstones, as seen in central and south America, where you put grain in top hole and turn by hand on a knob connected to top stone, flour comes out of channel in bottom stone. I don't see them on-line anywhere.
I've bought my granite slab.. One side is perfectly smooth and one side is rough.. I assume I'm meant to be grinding on the rough side. Can you confirm this..
What an incredible video. No blasting music. Simple, detailed explanation. Subscribed.

Very good. I'm going to make my own mill soon. I'll be basing the design on yours. Thanks for the video

You have a soft voice, a wonderful design, and gracious educational video, essential tool for sustenance. I love to make it.
I enjoyed your video sir, it was nicely done.
Thank You for the details on this Steve. Regards Johno
Wow 😲😲😲 wonderful 👍👍👍
Желаю удачи и успеха. И огромное спасибо за дельные познании . Маршал Вам с Чечении, гор. Грозный .

Very Nice Video.. I hope you make many more on any project
Thank you, sir! This is very helpful that you are sharing these instructions with us 🙂

That's great work and an awesome video explaining it
Thanks for the well made video!
Great. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. :)
Awsome job m8!
Thank you. Outstanding video. Looking forward to your next video.
Could you please explain how you keep the two stones apart so they do not touch?
The stones are touching on their flat part not the teeth,and you fill the grain before you start ,this pushes the stones apart.
There will be some wear on the stones this is normal.
The stone dust in the flour is where you get minerals: iron copper zinc calcium, etc., dietary minerals! This is a good thing.
possibly gallstones as well lol
This is genius sir.
Thank you, sir. Very helpful.
This is very good
Brilliant!
Fantastic, I like it
Great video. Is there a design or blueprint for this mill? Thanks!
Very impressive!!!!
Excellent clever and simple design. Can you share plans?
.nice mill do you have Anny plans? Hope so if not are you going to make some exserlent thanks for the vidio
I would like just the basic top and bottom millstones, as seen in central and south America, where you put grain in top hole and turn by hand on a knob connected to top stone, flour comes out of channel in bottom stone. I don't see them on-line anywhere.
You should just buy a small mill it would work better than two stones sitting on top of each other.
Hats off!
Thank you very much.
Clever bugger I like it
You should sell the stones.
perfect!
Wow!!!! I wish I could have somebody make me one !!🙏😘😘💐🌹🌷
You can buy these mills on ebay,not very expensive.
@@stevebussinger7357 link please!
Great. Have you made the electric one? Please post it.
I like it, i will give it a try (although i did just buy a metal china one..
Nice, thanks
Hi Steve , very nicely made Steve! What part of Australia are you from ? Cheers
We live in Brisbane
Thanks for the video, are the brass part, shaft, key and bearing with holes are standard parts? can you help what to search for to source, thanks.
I am also interested to know.
You have to make these yourself,they are not standard parts.
I wonder if you could use a bench grinder wheel as a stone?
You need to have indentations in the wheel to accept the grain which is hard to to do on a grinder wheel.
... отличная старинная мельница, ты уж береги её, чтобы она по дольше служила тебе, ладно?!!
I forgot to ask, what type of Wheat do you use Steve, and where do you source it from? RegardsJohno
The wheat is from Toowoomba.(from a local health store)
@@stevebussinger7357 Thank You for that info. Merry Christmas. Johno
thanks for the video! I want to buy your mill, is it possible?
Sorry not for sale.Make one yourself it's not very hard.
@@olegkidasan4282 You can buy these mills from EBAY for a lot less,this one is not for sale.
👍
🔝🔝
I subscribed I love built not bought
I have always wandered, is just not possible to avoid contact between both grinding stones, so we always eat some amount of stone dust, isn't it?
Very small amount of dust will be in the flour,it can't be avoided.
Thanks
how many kilograms can be produced in one hour?
Too hard work by hand,use an electric mill.
I've bought my granite slab.. One side is perfectly smooth and one side is rough.. I assume I'm meant to be grinding on the rough side. Can you confirm this..
You use the smooth side,that way the stones are touching at the edge only
Look on RUclips at a professional machine to make millstone,this will make it easy to make yours:-COMO RAYAR PIEDRA 3en1
Ok thanks for the advice.. I'll watch those videos now
Has anyone ground Matcha leaves with a DIY stone?
