Good to know - I was given the impression you pretty much needed a hammer mill, but that may have been the flour grinding part of the process. I'm in the wrong ecosystem for mesquite, and have never met one, but if I thought they had any chance of growing here, I'd give it a go for their ability to tolerate drought (our summers) and their supposed ability to move water from the surface to underground when it rains. However, maybe that info was faulty too?Mike Barkley wrote:Mesquite has bean pods not nuts. They're not especially hard even when dry. Dried ones make a good flour when ground up.
I can remember as a child, my parents buying a mixed bag of nuts in the shell at Christmas time. I was too wimpy to open most of them, but there were a couple of light coloured, vaguely almond-shaped nuts that even Dad couldn't crack with the little nut-crackers we had. He used to take them down to the bench vice... the tool in the picture looks vaguely like a bench vice with a particular intention.Not necessarily where it came from, as I don't know that the grandparents didn't move there from elsewhere, a lot of people did.

saddlers stitching ‘horse’. As the name suggests, it's a four legged wooden stool which is straddled for comfort during long stitching sessions with straps and belts etc.
