I was hoping to cut the center of the base away and kind of fold the vertical legs out at the bottom for bolting to something...it wasn't a well thought out plan

I'm looking at the bottom of mine..what happens if you unscrew where the feet plates are, wont the whole bottom base come off?
It would leave the two vertical supports...then you could use some small "L" brackets to bolt to a piece of wood...maybe a shelf with a big hole in the center.

That's what I did...took the end covers off so I could get to the nuts on the base bolts, then just mounted it to a board with a hole cut in it. Here's the board (sitting on the cover to a Homer bucket).
And here's the completed mill
Use 8-32x1" screws for this and you won't have to enlarge the holes in the uprights like I did with my 10-32 screws.
The board is a plastic composite thing that I got on a jobsite thinking I'd use it in my camper project...way handier in the brewery!

WOOT WOOT!!!
It looks great. SO are you gonna motorize it at some point?
Have you run any grain through yet? How's the crush?
How did you mount the board with the opper on the top?

Great Blog..
FYI you can motorize them. Fimo Heads have been modding them for years, in fact IIRC you can find some motors for them digging around on some polymer clay sites.
It's doubtful they can take a high speed drill motor buy a mid speed gear motor at about the same spped as a fast turn can be rigged up.
Also for all of you contemplating this here is a nice piece on a fimo site about dissaembling and maintaining one.

Oh geez.... you're gonna get me going again! I already have a foot pedal... hmmmmmmmm.
You know what? I'll bet you could run it with a wiper motor too... would just be battery operated. Those gears can take it ...I'm amazed.

Damn, I just found this thread. Very Cool. SWMBO has a little bit of shopping to do for me, so I'm going to drop hints like crazy. If she doesn't pick one up for me, I'm going to Michael's with that coupon!
