nothing to see not covered by the link to that dudes youtube link in first post.
yet, will be building a hopper shortly as it appears to be at least slightly useable so far.
the only think I did different was probably not groove as deeply as he did, mine are barely scratches 0.2mm deep at a guess, perhaps less .. ts just enough to pull the wheat in. I figured it was easier to go deeper if I needed than the reverse :)
I didnt want grooves deep enough to allow whole grains to escape.
heres a pic anyway, i put about 7 grooves in ine roller and only 4 in the other, its rough as guts but i doubt the grain cares.
plan is to drive it with a small drill press laid on its side. also an aldi one :)
will keep yas updated. very easy to pull apart the pasta machine, flat jewellers screwdriver to pry off the inner of the adjustment knob, phillips screwdriver and long nose pliers got the nuts and screws off, to undo the gears needed a bit if force, clamped rollers in vice individually and undid the gears with vice grips being careful not to distort the teeth.
assembly is a fiddly jigsaw puzzle, mark the feed guides so you know which is which without wondering. then its a matter of trying to get about 7 things through holes at the same time. not too bad though.
