The idea on that one was good , it could be built out of lighter steel pretty cheap and still hold up And I still don't understand why it didn't come with a switch

Chris, I admire your home made doin yourself. I mean no disrespect, but I couldn't understand many of your words. That being said, my husband was from Gulfport Mississippi. When I met my in-laws... :0. She was teaching me his favorite dishes. "Steak and Gravy". I didn't understand what "sufferin flour" was. Young, I went pale in the face. Looked at him and said "why is the flour suffering?" He restrained from falling out on the floor. Translated into "self rising" flour. 1987 till now, I've been making an effort to understand folks have different accents. God bless your for it sir. And, thanks for the lesson on the corn grinder. Your lucky, lucky chickens. I know they were in there cooing away. "Daddy's making kibble". Hugs, :)

Good job, Chris. Nice innovation. You remind me of my old man. He was always inventing things to get the job done. He never took a day off in his life. Appreciate you.

Just keep it greased and don't run it to long at the time and it'll hold up pretty good. You need to break it in before you try to grind too fine if you hit the plates together you'll have to replace them ( they're cheap if you mess up ) .

We've been using this mill everyday for the last two years and haven't had any problems with it. The wife grinds about a 5 gallon bucket of feed everyday, sometimes twice a day. Been a good grinder. Looking for an old hand crank burr mill for when the power goes out and can't run the generator.

A few on freezing, not sure about drying corn . It just dries on the stalk same as peas and beans it'll droop when it good and dry, now if you mean sweet corn for seed just pull it when it's brown shuck it back and hang it in the barn where the mice can't get it . When it'll shell easy shell it ,bag it and put it in the freezer.
