Treadle Grinder overhaul
« on: April 20, 2023, 10:03:14 am »
Hi,

I have just finished an overhaul of a model treadle grinder which I sort of made some years ago.



Might be found interesting.

Take care Tony.

wow would you look at that! I like that a lot Tony & just may have to have one of my own, but probably just as a steam accessory.

Here is mine...

[ Guests cannot view attachments ]

I have converted it only to be used indoors driven with a transmission belt

or as a mobile treadle grinder outdoors as they were used back then in the 1850s-1920s...

Hi,

The quality of materials and their manufacture of your model is vastly superior to the one I bought.  I like your modifications.

Take care Tony.
