Thread: Old grain mill restored

Tweet

Roger he probably will be happy and sad at the same time. Since Gail his wife passed away last year he has been trying to clear out the house in So Cal to sell, but with 4 daughters who want to keep everything, he's had a tough go at it. In this case, he'll be taking the Mill to my wife's sister who is the big baker in the family(I initially wanted it to crack grains for beer making, but the brew supply house does this for free, and has a much better set up for it.) It does feel good to know it will be used and cared for by her. I reserve rights of return if she chooses to depart with it at a future date!

Maybe you need to make a nice label, "Property of Steve Stovens, On Loan to Aunt ________", stick it inside the working side of the drawer where it cannot be missed, and then add a coat or two of clear finish to "seal" it in place.....
