Yep, Cluadius B mentioned that last night. I'll probably build one out of 1/8" hardboard or 1/8" plywood so I can stain and varnish it. Good idea and easy enough to do.

Thanks for thinking of my fingers, I'd like to keep them.

Good suggestion. Here is the dry fit assembly ready to be glued together

A lot better, great.
Milling and drinking at the same time is no longer a problem.

Maybe the next time I go to Houston I can see the mill in action.

Mines mounted on the bottom and I've made 180 gallons with no explosions,I like that you can put your scale on top to measure your grain too. Pat

Nice photo write-up of your mill station, thanks for sharing it.

Next time you use your mill, could you take another photo of the MaltMill itself, from below, attaching onto the cart? I'm not sure how you did that part, and could not really tell from the above image.

I ask because I have a JSP Maltmill, similar v-belt sheave, and will be using a salvaged electric motor from a clothes dryer -- but I do not have a cart or stand to put it all together on!! I'm completely utterly stupid at woodworking but I'm trying to figure out how to assemble all the pieces into something useable.

Edit -- I did not notice the bolt head at first due to the image size... but after squinting a bit, I think I see how it goes together now.

So if I have this right... the horizontal wooden "rails" that the MaltMill sits on are 1"x2" boards, and the MaltMill bolts onto them from below.
And then each side of the horizontal "rail" is.. screwed?.. nailed?.. into the 1"x4" vertical structure beams, correct?

Sorry about taking so long, didn't notice that you'd asked a question.

Yes, the Maltmill has 1/4x20 threaded holes on the top and bottom. I had to get new bolts that were the proper length to bolt the Maltmill to the horizontal rails (the ones it comes with are for the 5 gallon bucket "mounting plate" and maybe 3/8" long). The horizontal rails are glued and screwed to the vertical uprights with small "L" brackets for additional support.

I can take more pictures of specific areas if you need more detail.

Right on - I think I understand now, no additional pics needed - Thanks!!
