Mills like this are definitely the answer to a lot of the food issues going on in this world today!

[@metcalfmills5679]

Sure enough my friend!!

[@eppiedoodle3356]

Good Morning, Justin, I never knew there were mills that were dual purpose and were as small as this one. The restoration you have done is wonderful! You have kept it as original as possible. I’m sure you will have no problem in selling it. Thank you for sharing with us. I have learned a lot! Take care and God bless you and yours.❤️

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thank you Eppie! I am glad you enjoyed and I appreciate your compliments. God bless you too ❤️

[@LeaC816]

I don’t guess I had realized you could mill 2 different textures at the same time! These machines are so cool to watch and learn about! I am sure you will have a lot of interest in this one, it’s history is downright awesome and you have it in perfect working order for its new owner. Thanks for showing us this one and for learning me sum’n else!!

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thanks Lea! Glad you enjoyed. I appreciate your compliments and I am happy to share 😄

I'm so excited to see how fast this channel is growing, at the time of this video you had two thousand subscribers, four months later and you're over eight thousand, man that thrills me so much. I can't wait to see what happens in another four months!! I'm going to celebrate like crazy when you hit that one million mark, actually I'll probably cry, I love this channel so much, one of my absolute favorites for sure.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Aw thank you so much Mari! I am so glad that you enjoy🙂

[@nancyseery2213]

First mill I have seen in about 50 years. Reminds me of my grandparents. My grandfather ran the local feed and seed store where I grew up. About the time I was in first grade, my mother helped him with International Farm tractor parts and I can remember riding around in an International pick up truck. Thanks for sharing you mill.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thank you Nancy. I am glad that you enjoyed and I appreciate you sharing this with us

[@pennyeudy4167]

Thank you for showing us how to make cornmeal and grits. I’ve never seen it done before. It was a very interesting video. We all need to know where our food comes from. We have become to accustomed to just going to the grocery store and never knowing how the food was actually made. Keep the videos coming. I am learning a lot!

[@metcalfmills5679]

I am so glad that you enjoyed it Penny! I agree, too many people have no idea about their food. That made my day!

Brilliant! This is a beautiful piece of equipment 😃nice work restoring it. Me 🤔could it also be powered using a bicycle… thinking about no electricity situation. Thank you, love seeing history restored to usefulness.

Think it’s okay to feed the chickens with that first batch of corn you run to purge the stones? That’s a beautiful Machine! Nice Job!

[@tpaw6908]

Wow that's cool would it do flour also? Do you have a different mill. Looks good old grits and Billy's ham , pintos good eats. Have a great week. Be safe

It will but not ideal, I have something coming on that though. You too, thank you!

[@ladyryan902]

👍 wish I had room

[@metcalfmills5679]

What about adding on LR?!

[@ladyryan902]

Lol.i moved from the mountains and family homestead / farm to the beach ..i already have illegal chickens and building a raised bed by my driveway lol thankfully my development is old no HOA n not in city limits..i think having a noisy mill in a shed would raise flags..hahaha but that is an amusing thought..thx for making me laugh😂

[@FarmerC.J.]

This is amazing! Imagine all the people that will be fed with this gem! Excellent work! Thank you for sharing this. What would this beauty sell for?

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thank you CJ! They are all different based on what it is and it’s condition. This one was almost pristine!

[@tommyguillot1719]

Tommy Great job restoring the mill, keep it orginal. hopefully will last another 100 years. continue to keeping the old was alive. do you have an email address. I have been looking for mill. keep up the great stories of the past.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thanks Tommy! I agree, and I am always glad when they can be kept original. Can you send me a message on Instagram?

[@trevorholland2812]

You could make you a dirt sifter box and fire that thing up and pour dirt right onto the sifter and get good seed starting mix that would be cool to see how it would work

[@metcalfmills5679]

Great idea Trevor!!!

I like all of your videos. I love cornbread, grits and sorta like hominy, but I can't stand fresh corn. I was the oddball in my family. I said to myself when I was young, when I grow up nobody is gonna make me eat corn. Trust me I had a made up mind. LOL You take care and God Bless.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Ha ha! Thanks for sharing Phyllis! You too and God bless you as well.

[@rickmitchell6911]

I have a 12" Williams Mill I just got through with restoring, it's been a long journey but I'm excited and ready to start grinding. What size wire screens are used for the meal and grits, and does it have to be stainless? Any helpful info would be awesome. I've been watching yours videos for several months now👍

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thank you, my apologies. I use #12 for grits and #16 for meal..

[@thirrybelisle]

Out of curiosity is that milll only for corn or it could mill other grain?

[@metcalfmills5679]

It can but it is not ideal. I will have something later that is better suited for small grains.

[@Skashoon]

Would this type of mill be able to make flour from wheat, rye, oats and so forth?

[@metcalfmills5679]

Yes it could but not ideal. I will have something later that is more suited for small grains..
