HELP! Need Ideas To Crush Corn!

Howdy!

 

So I get whole corn in bulk from a local Co Op and I need to figure out a way to crush it on the cheap, preferably DIY.

 

Any ideas?

You can probably find an old corn grinder on craigslist or e-bay. We used a hand crank kind when I was a kid.

What did they call the old stones? One to crush and a bowl shaped one to use as the base?

 

Was it Mortar and Pestle?

+1. I picked up a cast-iron Corona mill for about $30 on Ebay.
