We just did a group by from Crank and Stine. I think a few others are interested in getting a new mill. Perhaps you can weigh in with them and split the shipping on something quality.

This is the mill (minus the hopper and base) that graham is referring to, it's a 2S with an upgraded 3/8 shaft. I have to say I'm amazed what a beast this thing is.. even with it only being a 2 roller. I can grind 20 lbs of grain in a few minutes. My biggest mistake was making the hopper so small... I used these plans as a starting point and basically copied them with a few minor changes.

I'll make larger when I get bored or tired of it but for now it's amazing... beats the hell out of taking your grain to noble grape.
