It's a pedal-powered grain mill!
I didn't like using my drill to power the PhillMill II because it felt like there wasn't much speed control with my crappy Harbor Freight drill. So, I had an idea to power the mill using one of the many bicycles that I've accumulated over the years.
Previous setup
Shoulder screw from McMaster and roller chain sprocket from an Ebay scooter store...it was a lot harder to find a bike chain compatible roller chain sprocket than I thought it would be. Most are too thick. This one fits a BMX chain (1/8")
Welded together and hit with a squirt of Krylon
