I used to have one I built. I used an old military 20gal barrel. Welded angle iron inside it straight up and down 4 pieces. cut a door in the side of it with a latch. took some old scooter wheels and drilled holes on each end of the barrel for a shaft. Used the bearings in the scooter wheels for the shaft. Made a rack out of an old bed frame mounted the washing machine motor to the rack Used a belt off a 302 ford engine to run the mill. I used descent sized rocks to smash the ingredients. When I build another I will post about it.
