I just finished converting a Hobby Lobby sculpting clay roller into a working grain mill.
I got the idea from some other posts. I think some people had used these types of pasta machines and had the rollers knurled on a lathe. Having more time than money, I textured the rollers myself with a Dremel and a total of around a dozen cutoff wheels The end product is a cheap, adjustable grain crusher. The device was $25.00 before the 40% off coupon they always have. The work consists of disassembling, Dremel-ing, cleaning, lubricating with vegetable oil, and reassembling.
Anyway, thought I would share the success story if anyone is thinking of trying this. If there's interest, I'll post pics and some details.
