Millstone Dressing, Hand vs Air on fff#22 v100 

Way to show the old ways work better!

You are a true craftsman, Justin! Folks should call you first if they want the mill work done right. I imagine you have more than you can handle, with your own farm, raising two beautiful daughters, and growing all those mustard greens ! 😀🌱

You are 5 times better than the other way. You are. Don't forget and don't change

The old ways although more tedious seem to always prove better results. Some things just can't be rushed. Thanks Justin!

Wow! Big difference! Really nice to have solid confirmation of that fact. Congratulations!

You do quality work , the old way is always better. More care goes into hand worked. Great job Justin.

I ain’t saying that’s great they got someone else to dress one of their stones, but pretty cool you now have that data of your hand dressing vs that of pneumatic tools. Clearly that mill now knows who the real professional is!! 😁 Thanks for sharing with us and I hope you have a great weekend!

While it’s just a guess, I’d say a large number of homesteaders want to go back to the old ways for many good reasons. What you showed was an excellent example. If you had asked me a year ago about how a mill works, I would’ve said “I don’t know.” Now I can at least give a general answer, thanks to you!

That was amazing! You are truly a talented man. That's true master craftsmanship! Those stone must weigh alot! Thanks for sharing ☺️

To some it is just a job but to others it's a work of love. Thank you, take care and God Bless.

Thanks Justro I'm sure now all the mills should know your name. Theres one in Pickens SC I know they di cornmeal not sure what else. Great job. Another FFF fir you know the true talent . Have a great weekend.

Nice, now you have documentation :)

Nice smile 😃

👍

Hey, Justro. I sure would like to quote you one one of my t-shirts, “The proof’s in the grits.” But that should really be your merch. #waitingforMMmerch

Happy Friday Sir

Maybe you can show how to use all tools and build mills etc. All without power like grid goes down situation?

Congratulations Justin. New is not necessarily better or improved. Hand tools are almost always more precise when used with skill and experience. Faster is almost never better.

I'll take my grits with butter and black pepper! No instant grits accepted!

Hey y'all, I can't really tell y'all apart. When I see Justin I don't know is it Justro or Justin. Y'all even sound alake and dress alike. Can you give me a hint so I can know for sure which one I'm seeing. I know y'all love them mill stones. I would love to see them in a video soon. y'all take care bye for now

Jethro, I hope to raise about 10 acres of corn next year and then I normally go back and plant wheat as a cover crop and usually just winter graze it. Since the milk company has cut us off, I've sold my cows down to about 50 head of milking shorthorns which are out on pasture from the first of April to the first of November. I'm going to try an calve them in November and December next year and feed the excess milk to the hogs so I'm going to have plenty of fall pasture. What kind of wheat should I use to make flour out of? I want something that will winter good. The only thing I have to grind it is what I would use to grind my corn with which is a burr mill, will that work? if not what would you suggest I try to find? I don't want anything great big, thank you.

Do you mill differently for grits Justin, or are they a particular kind of corn? I haven’t actually tried them yet though I came to America nearly forty years ago.

There are many shapes of dressing What is differance

justin what kind of stone do they use for grinding mill? Is it a special stone type?
