Suppose I wanted to carve a millstone to make my own flour. What would be the best stone to use? Should I go animal/human powered or should I try to make a windmill?
>>2972127Why? Some things are better in the past, anon. Problem with stone ground flour is you inevitably get dust in your product which erodes your teeth.
>>2972127>>2972127You can DIY a simple flour mill out of wood or metal. The kind that is just a wooden or metal wheel with a handle through the middle and a trough to hold the grain is easy enough. Or you could get a 'modern' flour mill like picture related.If you absolutely won't use anything but stone then I would probably use a high quality basalt. That is what they used back in the day.
>>2972127Hope you enjoy eating rocks anon. There's a reason why no one wants to use a giant stone anymore
a rare grade of sandstone and everyone who knew the veins in your state propably crooked already
>>2972221the reason is sandstone grindstones got oshad last century because silicosis is horrible and preventable now
You can get an electric grain mill for a few hundred dollars which will work far better than an old style stone mill, which will work faster and have the added benefit of not adding stone particulates to your flour.
>>2972346That image is pure comedy!
>>2972347Yeah those amazon chink companies have notoriously shitty image creators for their products.
>>2972346If you buy this, it the image is a 1:1 size of the product you'll get.
>>2972367Well that's good because I have kernels of corn the size of your fist... Kek!I've been toying around with the idea of getting one of those pelletizer grinders for making food pellets for livestock. Probably not actually practical but could be fun...

>>2972376I bought a meat grinder off the internet once. Stupid me didn't really think to look at the dimensions because I've only ever seen them be a standard size. When it got here it looked like a toy. You could make grind up a half a chicken breast at a time. I considered it a lesson learned and threw it away.
