antique boby grain mill

Post by Fat boy quiff » Wed Sep 17, 2014 1:43 pm

Hi
A mate of mine went to the Dorset steam fair a few weeks back. From there he gave me a call and told me he had found an old grain mill for sale. To cut a long story short I bought it and tried it yesterday! all I can say is wern't the victorians brilliant!
It milled beautifully is fully adjustable and is in great mechanical order. I plan to fit a pully wheel to it so I can mechanise it and mill quicker.
A good find.

I have done a bit of work on the mill which was basically strip down, clean up, lubricate and re-build. It now works great, and is a pleasure to turn the handle, if you know what i mean. I may strip it down again to paint it so that it looks posh. :D
