Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84224322 :purplecock: Thanks! For grinding grain into flour, the best hand-powered mill out there, in terms of price versus performance, is the Country Living Grain Mill. There are of course electric mills available, and a Vitamix blender will also grind grain. The Country Living mill can be motorized, if desired. You can grow flax most anywhere, then process it and make linen. Funny that peasants centuries ago wore linen clothes, usually made locally in their village - better, sturdier material than what we wear today! At the moment, I have an electric Mockmill from Germany. If no more power, I bet I could utilize the inner stones and create a hand mill. Also have an extra large marble mortar and pestle. Wouldn’t be fast but I could still grind! That Mockmill should serve you in good stead as long as there’s power. You could certainly make a mill with those stones, but even easier way is to get three long iron pipes, about 4 or 5 feet long, and bundle them together securely with heavy wire. Place a layer of grain in a large bucket, maybe an inch or so at a time, then lift and drop the ends of the bundled pipes into the grain. This will give you a somewhat-coarse grind. I saw this in a government nuclear war survival book years ago, and it does work. There is also the relatively-inexpensive Corona hand grain mill: [ link to www.amazon.com (secure)] …that will do, again, a somewhat coarse grind, but they are popular and many people swear by them.
