New invention idea. Chick "snuggli".

She could cut a hole in the middle of a sweatshirt. Put a little "sack" inside of it and let the little guy poke his head out and go anywhere with her..


She could market it as a "chick-a-roo" Roo being for rooster and kangaroo..

That grain mill looks like one for grinding flour and corn meal for humans in small batches . It can probably be set coarse for cracked corn .

I would think so too, There is probably some way to open up the tolerances to adjust coarseness.

The " belt" driven area looks funny. I am not sure what it is. I have never seen a grinder like that, but we grew up with old hammermills for grinding feed here.

What do you think it looks like?


BTW .. Judy is NOT right.

Junk

maybe it's just a bad picture...

Although I've seen my husband bring crap home (looks like crap to me) but he cleans it up etc. and makes money from it, so I really know nothing... ignore me.

That sounds like something Judy would call the stuff I bring home. She claims I have a couple sheds full of junk. I think it is all valuable things.

Those are cool Jerry!

How do you get the hull off the grain? Does it break up and separate when it is ground?

With one of them, Judy could raise grains and grind them, bake bread and make all our food! We would not have to buy anything. I could hunt and fish we could live a true subsistence lifestyle...

It just grinds . So only whole wheat flour . It had a steel burr and a stone burr .

I am thinking we need a meeting of the husbands of the women on here. They sound like my kind of people.. BTW I have 2 sheds both are around 40x80 filled with good finds! I do not have any junk in mine.
