pedal powered grain cleaning

[@paulkon2010]

This is the best machine I've seen for this kind of grain cleaning. Fantastic. Would be great to see more detailed photos of various parts of it. I understand it takes time to put plans together, but just additional photos of how it's put together would be much appreciated. Building this is outside of my skillset currently, but seeing what you've done inspires me to stretch.

[@paulmorneault5789]

Very well thought out and executed. Looking around your shop, I recognize many of the tools. You are a metal worker and probably a blacksmith. I am a professional blacksmith and it is always nice to see excellence. Thank you for sharing. :)

[@ShaggtyDoo]

10 years later and nothing? You could sell these plans online

[@zipzapzopzigzag]

This looks great! I'd also love to see the thresher in action, along with any of your other pedal powered contraptions. Keep up the grand work.

[@johnturner1957]

There are those of us who can come up with concepts and build them, and those of us who can't. What I'd like to see is availability of plans so those of us who are conceptually handicapped can build one for ourself.

[@T-K-OH]

What will you charge to make one? My wife and I are beginning a homestead with out first 5 acres of einkorn and we love this. Great job! It’s the perfect contraption for off grid living.

[@Lildream3]

Hey jeffrey excellent machine! I would suggest you get a patent for it, it seems fairly easy to assemble which makes it a good candidate to sell to businesses specializing in farm equipment. I can't imagine many other machines costing less to fabricate which puts yours easily at the top of the competition.

[@thefosterfam]

I love your de-hulling machine! I am needing to build one for my own grain project and this is the best I have seen by far on a small scale. Great work! I am half way through building a similar scale threshing machine which I hope will work as nicely as your de-huller, Cheers!

[@mrgoob76]

that is the slickest thing i have seen in a LONG time

[@susanhaney3437]

We made the first part of the mill (modifying the corn grinder) and it works great on our oats! Thank you so much!!!

[@stef1lee]

well how about that! I love this contraption you've built. I have recently purchased a small plot of land in which I am planning and growing into a small but sustainable farm for my tiny family, including my Fly Girls (the chickens), with hopes of cutting down the cost of mega spending at the supermarket and mega centers. This machine here will help with the grains I grow...or a concept idea of something much similar. Thank you so much for the share and the brilliant ideas formed to real life attainable products. Simply genius and beautiful! Thanks again and God bless!

[@carolewarner101]

Wow...fantastic! Not many have your knowledge, skills and engineer mind to create something like that. Wish I could just order one from you. Really practical for the small scale grower. We want to grow our own wheat, rye, oats and rice. This machine would be perfect for us!

[@lucienmacrose8567]

Jeffrey; Man I have watched 10 or 15 vids on this stuff and yours is by far the best thing I have seen so far and I don't think I'm gonna see anything close to it!!!! You killed it man,show us your other stuff to! Don't keep all that savvy to yourself! Awesome man! I subscribed and I will be waiting for the next vid.

[@rationalOgre]

Fantastic device. Do you have plans to release the blueprints for it?

[@flyfusion2011]

Brilliant design-can't wait to see the thresher! Congratulations!

[@rebeccaewell1834]

I'm a small homestead in Idaho... Super needing one? Due to the cost of feed, I'm in the process of sprouting greens for the animals. I m thinking of growing enough barley and wheat for the family and the goats, knue knue pigs and chickens! I love this.

[@JustinDOehlke]

I'm in love with this setup. I hope you won't mind if I make myself a copy. Thank you so very much man!

[@hopeisthething]

This is so cool! I want to start growing some of my own grains as well.

[@yusipierre]

love it! thank you so much for taking the time to share!

[@danthorington9000]

SO impressed! You're such an amazing resource!

[@slinkeepy]

You're a genius... pedal power is I believe the "future" (of human-powered devices anyway). Please share the plans, I don't even need them but I would love to know they're available to others!

[@oxman1588]

This thing is awesome! I would like to try building one just like it for oats. Thank you so much for posting.

[@peterkoza4448]

Wow, buddy you are impressive! Incredible build!

[@orlandodurand7368]

esta increible mi amigo si no es mucha molestia preguntarle de q material son los discos por los q reemplazo las muelas del molino y mil gracias un cordial saludo desde venezuela

[@clarissamiles]

Wow, amazing! I want to start growing grain for my family on a small scale. I wish I had your mechanical skill set:)

[@wholesystems]

Congrats - this is incredibly well done.

[@pgeorgak1]

a proof that problems need more thinking than spending money! Genious!

[@DARKLYLIT]

Fantastic machine Jeffrey. I'm part of a new grain growing co-op on Vancouver Island and this would be fantastic for our small-scale experiment. Do you have building plans/parts list you could share?(possibly Sketchup plans?)

[@missmamtube]

Awesome ! Thank you for sharing and blessing to you and yours ! Have you thought of selling your invention, I would be interested in purchasing :)

[@Friend_of_the_One-Eyed_Ladies]

Your sheet metal skills are on point! You're cheating a bit using wood for the sides of the blower chute, lol, but I understand why. Very well made, wish my brain worked like yours!

[@kentklapstein9879]

Very impressive!I'm curious to know if a modified corona mill can hull sunflower seeds

[@christophergodfrey4939]

Bloody brilliant mate, you'd make a good neighbour.

[@doko3000]

I'm curious what kind of machine can be used to 'polish' the grains (ie brown rice becomes white rice). This video goes into great detail of a mechanism to de-husk and screen the grain from the hulls & shafts. I wish there was another like this but for polishing.

[@ulrikvandenbulcke2651]

amazingly good concept! waiting to see your thresher ! ;-)

[@salikali9146]

Excellent Jeffrey, thanks for sharing

[@agrxdrowflow958]

What a great idea, using rubber. Friggin hulls only come apart with shear force.

[@derrickboatman1560]

Aww I wanted more videos. Well got to build one of those now.

[@solarnoon1]

Wonderful design. Would this invention dehull buckwheat?

[@danielroy8232]

wonder if this can work for multiple types of grains.

[@frankysnephew]

First I thought it was a black cat under the mill staring at me! 😂🙀

[@shaileshkris]

Subscribed!! Hope you get 80 more subscribers soon!

[@JosephKamelgard]

thanks for the fantastic design! Can you tell me what you used for the rubber pads? Thanks for the help

[@raincoast9010]

Copied this from another video. Galen Lehman 3 years ago (edited) UPDATE: 1) In the video, we recommend gluing Grainger part number 1XWZ7, which is 1/6" rubber, to both burrs on the grinding surface. Further testing has shown that using 1XWZ7 on the handle side (stationary) burr and 1XWZ9, which is 1/8" thick rubber, on the moving burr is most effective.2) Food grade versions of the sheets listed above are available. However, we did not purchase or test those versions. If you test this setup with the food grade versions of the rubber pads, please post a comment and let us know how it worked. It looks like you should choose either 1MXC8 or 1TVK8 for the 1/16" sheet and either 1TVK5 or 1MXD3 for the 1/8" sheet. (I'm not sure what the difference is.)The grain mill is available from www.lehmans.com. Search for item number 1079030 or try this link: www.lehmans.com/product/economical-corn-mill

[@MaybeSomeday833]

Don't know if you're monitoring this vid anymore, but do you have a source and size (diameter) for the natural rubber you used? Also, I'm guessing it is around 1/4" thick, is this correct?

[@dustbunny3824]

Just found this. It could even be adapted for a grain as small as fonio. Have you you tried any thing that that small.

[@behumbledlife8929]

Nice. I will have to try to build one or two.

[@ghostpeppered4524]

curious how efficiently you got the grain heads separated from the stalks before hopper

[@OWK000]

I wonder if that would work for dehulling lentils or buckwheat, both which find their way into gluten free bread. Wonderful machine. It looks like something I've seen in a Dr. Suess book and it works!

[@lumay333]

I am very impressed. I am trying to find a method to clean oats. would it be possible to make adjustments to this machine? I do roast the oats in 90 C so the hull is relatively easy to remove using two small sheets of rubber. Thanks

[@abrotherinchrist]

Neat, but how much grain is ending up on the floor?

[@philstat100]

Thank You for the great video and information. Do you think that it would work with rice? Again Thank You.

[@trinityfunda3911]

lovely machine. how much would that be?

[@johnkillen588]

Nothing short of brilliant

[@nathanhopkins4879]

you should post plans that would be super helpful

[@raincoast9010]

What a neat idea. are you working on the thresher now?

[@openwarnerrobins7147]

and you are selling the plans where?

[@JohnSmith-ub5vn]

Where can I purchase one similar. I need to dehull rice grains.

[@sandhills2344]

I love it! Well done Sir!

[@bajamerica]

Wow. Awesome. You should sell these to small villages in Africa, to make a huge difference for local economies!

[@rubyc6672]

what a lovely machine... i can use it in my daily living.. can you show the design sir?

[@tinsaeberhane4836]

I have been searching for this, thank you!

[@jennifersvitko5997]

Does this work with einkorn, spelt, and emmer?

[@paperwork1125]

Would this do oat groats bought at the feed store?

[@StefanoBorini]

You, sir, are a master.

[@nalimchik]

It was a bit boring till expiation.. from a 'pedal' part. You naturally Good Engineer!

[@jamesmcdonald6162]

Have you tried this on un-hulled oats. I have some oats that appear to be very difficult to hull?

[@dalgombes2023]

Very simple and amazing, good job

[@AlekseyCamodelkin]

Steeper seen. Work Nishtyak ...

[@rebeccaewell1834]

How could I purchase one?

[@jacknissen6040]

can it do sunflower seed?

[@ICXC888NIKA]

So cool :D amazing job!

[@brett1354]

Very clever. Well done there.

[@hughezzell10000]

Ingenius. Nice job.

[@JeffsTrades]

great work....very innovative

[@eraneran5681]

Where are your growing and harvesting videos?

[@AlexisNBloom]

Do you think this would work on millet?

[@RevivingIndiaMovement]

Very beautiful! How are you doing?

[@thegeniusofthecrowd354]

Ingenius. Could it dehull any seeds?

[@montysandor8362]

will it work for emmer wheat?

[@fouroakfarm]

This is genius. Well done sir

[@davidrosales4255]

Do you think this can work for oats??

[@maxdangers]

It looks like a lot of work but you know what they say; No pain, no grain.

[@arrowplaylists697]

I wonder if your machine could take the shells off of sunflower seeds?

[@ranibearsilva5883]

incredible design ! :D do you think it would work to dehull soy beans ? i been researching a mill to help me with my tempeh making , the only models i can find online is the corona or victoria mills on amazon, you using a Victoria right ? Peace out mate ! very cool machine ! :D

[@nicolaizakharov4963]

Is possible to hulling buckweat with this?

[@char-knee496]

How did you thresh your wheat?

[@Gromp]

This guy is legend!

[@rafaelperez-ep7wi]

Nice video, thanks.

[@arrowplaylists697]

Where did you find the rubber discs?

[@MrAndrewForbes]

have you invented anything for threshing by any chance?

[@montysandor8362]

hi do you still have my emmer? any luck dehulling it?

[@raschad007]

think this will be just as effective for sunflower seeds?

[@waltlars3687]

Peter Ferguson just off the top of My head I would say no because of oval shaped to sunflower hulls and seed shape I am thinking that there would be to many broken or shattered seed but I haven't tryed to do it Small scale sunflower harvesting equipment is hard to find here on You tube Sunflower seeds and safflower oil seems like a good homestead crop

[@heavensentfoodandfiber]

Do you sell plans?

[@msdancingwolfe]

Awesome, thanks Jeffrey!

[@markm8188]

You ought to start building & selling them.

[@randyainslie]

I am ready for the thrasher please...

[@ledfootdude]

Excellent job!

[@faykaileenalbano5906]

Hi mr. Funk, can i ask for the mechanization of your milling machine,? Just if it is okay to you sir.

[@TMB247]

Have you tried it with Oats?

[@oldfarmer9004]

That’s fantastic!

[@revmusical]

absolutely brilliant!
