I have been looking at various grain mils on and off for the last 10 years and wasn't convinced on any of the mills I came across.. Thank you for the review and for making my decision easy. I ordered my #99 yesterday. Cheers
Good to see you and mom working together as a team. I think a lot of people loose sight of how important team work is. With a team you can play to each others strong suits. Two heads are better than one. Nice having an expert and master cook in the house! Can't wait to eat some of her home cooking. Love you guys.
Wow!! I Just discovered your videos today and I just want to say what a nice job you have done on them. You and your wife are both very helpful in how you explained everything about the GrainMaker grain mill and the bread making. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to make such wonderful, informative videos! Bonnie Jones
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to post it. I have an antique grinding mill which I use with a hit and miss antique engine. It's good to see that the old technology is still being reproduced and appreciated.
Excellent review of the mill. Thanks for sharing. After seeing your review I went ahead and ordered one for myself. I decided to get the no. 116, even though the no. 99 is all I would ever need.
Very informative, step by step video. This mill is a "BEAST"! It is a solid, well made piece of equipment which can no doubt be passed on to future generations if our country should continue to exist as it currently is. (Good luck with that)
Gainmaker mill is way better built than countryliving grainmill. Gainmaker mill has sealed bearing where are countryliving has shielded bearing. The machining quality and engineering of grainmaker mill is the best of the best. I have both mills and there is no comparison.
Comparing this machine to the wonder junior is like comparing a concrete driveway to an asphalt drive. No comparison. The quality of the machining is obvious. Yes more expensive but the difference in everything, sealed bearings the broad vertical stand fully welded, a base which can be bolted down. Remember all the torque that is created in the engagement of the auger has to be transferred through the mount. A fragile mount is the end of the machine. Very glad to have happened on your video. I know what I am going to get.
I know your video is 4 years old, but it was very informative. I want to buy a grain mill that will last decades/generations, not like the plastic/throw-away garbage they want us to re-buy every two years. Just my opinion. Peace.
Very nice video. You cover all the important points and don't waste any time. Thanks for this and I'm now going to watch your other videos. Liked and subscribed!
First, let me say what an appreciation I have for the fact that you have shelves of books everywhere... and not a television in site. Appreciate the review. I would have liked to see some of the internal parts or the process to take it apart for cleaning etc. It looks like a well made machine but what is that horrible noise when you turn it with nothing left in it? It sounds like it uses dry rubber bushings or something... I've always loved and wanted the Diamant and like the fact that it's cast iron. This is the first one that could maybe change my mind, but not too sure.
great video, we have a country living grain mill, but have been thinking along time about buying this one, im pretty sure mine is going in the sell adds lol thanks for the video
I contacted the company that sells it (1989 Wild West Company) in Montana and am happy to report you can request other color options for an additional charge AND purchase through PayPal if you need to pay in payments! Bonnie (the co-owner) is a VERY nice gal. It is SO great to be able to support a FAMILY run businesses! I'm looking forward to placing my order! Thanks or the video.
besides,it is a tool, with exercises for both hands,and heart eventually... beaitifull couple.smilly earthy , blesses from an old greek forgive my english. am 87 and self taught wish you both health and your familly
Thank you for your video! I researched grain mills and your video was the deciding factor. One question, when you mount it on the cutting board, is the mill stable enough to mill on its own or do you have to hold or attach the cutting board to something?
I like the bicycle attachment idea. Maybe a truck belt as drive belt? I dunno how thick truck belts are. Just throwing the idea out there. Make a steel stand (out of old office desk legs for example) to elevate the front of the bicycle.
Hello Could anybody suggest what spare parts it is convenient to buy with the mill? I was thinking perhaps: an extra set of burr and shaft & bearings. I am not sure about the auger.. Also, have you got any experience with the Homestead Huller kit? How often is it necessary to change the huller replacement pads? I am based in Italy and perhaps it is more cost-effective to order extra parts with the mill... Thank you very much!
I have been shopping online everywhere I can to try to find a cheaper grain meal come to find out. I thought I would just try a household blender and it was amazing 5 bucks at my thrift store and it's still grinding after 6 years. I can make cornmeal. I can make it as fine as I want and only 5 bucks.
Hand powered will always work! We also have a bicycle attachment for pedal power. They also offer a motor or a kit to use with a motor if you already have one, for those who prefer electric.
wondermill junior has all that and for a lot less. so why did you pick that machine? is it because it will last a lot longer than wondermill junior? thank you for the help.
@@cf4880 compared to the grainmaker, the wondermill junior seems like a toy. We chose this because of how well built it is, it is US made and comes with a lifetime warranty.
+Wang Kou Vang you can look at all they offer on the Grainmaker website here: grainmaker.com/ The model we showcase is the #99 which retails for $675.00 at this time.

I thought my Country Living grinder was expensive. Very nice video. Burring wheels keep the heat down to maintain nutrients.

thanks for the comment!
You two sure are a cute couple! I have been looking at grain mills for some time, and I love everything about yours. Thanks for the video.
Excellent video.
I wish all demonstration videos were this good.
Nice idea mounting it to a big thick piece of butcherblock. I love that option.
I also love your library built-ins. Nice!
Thank you both for taking the time to post these educational videos.
Thank you for your thorough review! This might be the mill for me, thanks to your review.
Great review! Thank you for showing people how easy it is to grind healthy, homemade flour!

Old time quality and workmanship
I've been thinking of getting something like this! Excellent review!
We have the bike attachment. It is well worth the money. More flour in less time. We love our Model 99.
Can you please make a video of it. I have been looking for a video so that I can do it to.
Excellent review! Thank you!
Very nicely done review video! Thank you.

Great job, good video, I have no questions about the mill however, why do you wear a watch on each arm?
Thanks
If you look closely the one on the right arm is not a watch but a compass.:)

And thank you for making a Great Grain Mill!
I was looking for this video
Stellar video.
Denise, I am interested in the lost art of home economics. Do you know of good resources to teach adults and children?
Laura, I am sorry, but it has been decades since I taught Home Ec, and I sadly haven't kept up with resources for teaching the subject.
Awsome!!. Thanks for this vid.
Would the thicker grind be good for like wheat cereal?
Yes, that would work for wheat cereal
Do you have a link for where to buy it?
Great video, thanks for posting. Could you share the dimensions of the board you have mounted the mill onto?
It's an old cutting board I had around that measures 17" long x 13" wide x 2" thick.
@@survivalresources Thanks!!
This is a very helpful video. Thanks!
Have you ever tried Country Living mill? Any idea how it compares?
Good morning. Is it possible to put Water in to make a paste ? I hope it will not spoil the machine

these are awesome we got one we use a cordless drill to wind ours
So you use the cordless drill to spin the wheel? If so, would you mind sharing how you do that? Thank you.
I like it. thanks for showing it
Looks great.
good video,and I like the Dirttime shirt!
You can tell the video is old...
I wanted to buy one but motor costs like 800$ right ?
how do you get such a machin?
Your beautiful wife is quite shapely as well. THANK YOU for this quite informative video. Now I know the machine to buy. I subscribed to your channel.
But why do you prefer to hand grind it as opposed to electric? is there a quality difference? how come?
Hand powered will always work! We also have a bicycle attachment for pedal power. They also offer a motor or a kit to use with a motor if you already have one, for those who prefer electric.

oh and have you done nuts yet? and what did you think about that?

@@cf4880 sorry, I don't grind nuts.
