since there is no grain mill sub-forum I'll drop this here...
I made a grain mill cabinet out of an old school stereo cabinet I scored on FB for 5 bucks... the grain mill was one of those ebay or amazon specials, the DY-368 mill that's running about $150-200 right now...I scored a customer return for a bit less
Anyway I'll let the pictures tell most of the story. The cabinet was a little too narrow for the mill so I had to cut a hole in the side to slide the end of the motor thru but it only sticks out an inch when stored. The side hole was barely big enough so I had to remove the fan shroud to slide it in and then put the shroud back on. I had to lower the turntable shelf about a foot so the top would close without hitting the grain funnel. I did not like how the power switch was on the opposite side of the grain roller adjusters and the power cord came out the "front" in my set up so I flipped the control housing around. The motor wiring had enough slack that i could neatly run it under the cover and zip tie it away from the drive shaft. I closed in the back of the lower compartment to contain dust but the mill runs slow enough that I don't think there will be much dust floating around. I like the glass door so I can watch the mill in action and monitor the crush.
