Everyone likes bread and circuses, but how do you turn wheat into flour? Let's make millstones for a small grist mill!
Here's one way to do it:
Minimum requirements:
- Make a set of mill stones for grain
- Stone grinding surfaces
- Curved spiral grooves in both stones (one curves left, the other right)
- This bb can only use materials that existed 200 years ago
Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
- The stones you're starting with
- Several views of the stones getting shaped
- Finished mill stones
