Edit: I've posted the final design and sketckup files at post 19.
I've been staring at my monster mill and motor w/ VFD and wishing I had access to my shop so I could build something to actually USE them. Since I can't do that I thought I'd put my ideas on paper. Here is the milling station I came up with.
I plan to make the cabinet and hopper mounting plate out of 1/2" melamine for easy cleanup. The hopper will probably be 1/4" melamine though I drew it out as 3/8" because I was originally going to go with MDF - mostly it depends on the amount of scrap I have .
The hopper size should hold about 8KG (17.6lbs) of grain but the top of the hopper will be finished level and flat so an extension can be added easily if I want it (though I doubt I will). I may put a shelf in the other section as well.
