Time to turn my attention to the mill and make a nice shiny hopper for it. 1st up attach the mill to some spare ply wood as the mill and plates aren't held together, the rollers are just sat in bearings and are loose as can be seen by the pic below I used some angle bracket to make the front face recess for the ply facia and also the vertical hopper support, then I cut a Y shape from some wood and covered it in steel sheet. Next up, evict the contents of the fv cupboard and cut the holes ready for the mill,then fit mill I was undecided as to where to put the motor but finally settle with it underneath the mill then it was a case of making the mill hopper in the upper cupboard and fit a shoot to divert the crushed grain into the collecting bucket A few little jobs left to do but nearly there :-)
