A grain mill repair that took 6 weekends and a trip to three hardware stores
I bought a hand crank grain mill from a flea market in Portland for 12 dollars. It looked fine but the grinding plates were way off. Every attempt to adjust them made the flour grittier. I tried ordering replacement parts online, but the model was too old. Last weekend I finally took the plates to a machine shop and they resurfaced them for 35 bucks. Now it works perfectly. Why did I wait so long to just ask a professional? Has anyone else fixed an old tool by giving up and paying someone else?

But is it really fixed, or did you just lose the original character of that old mill?
