      Here is a screen shot from a video I did. This is the front of it.

      Grinder Front.PNG

      This is a picture of motor specs.

      It has a 3 inch pulley on the motor. I want to change that to a 1 inch, but haven’t been able to find one.

      The grinder has a 12 in pulley that comes with a handle for hand cranking. Took that off and run a v-belt from the hardware store.

      Use a turn-buckle to tension the belt. And wired a light switch in line.

      pr0wlunwoof Thanks, that’s such a good backup. I wanted a manual grinder just in case power was out, having that as an option is terrific. I have several pulleys and motors, sure I could get one to work. Kill two birds with one purchase.

        No problem. I think it would be a good backup/secondary for you. For the $120 I got in it im pretty happy. Cleanup isn’t too bad I just take it apart and off the 4 bolts and throw everything in the dish washer. They make a stainless steal version, but i haven’t gone looking for it. Rust doesn’t scare me, but I’m not using it to make a living.
        Main issues I have seen is folks not getting everything running true. Its not hard just allot of people don’t pay attention to what their doing.

                              Chef Yeah. I dunno. Stopped watching and reading the “news” and turned off facebook back in June. A whole lot of misinformation and fear mongering. Started doing my own fact checking and devising my own plan based on those facts. Hopefully others have done the same.

                                pr0wlunwoof I agree, fact checking is important. Sad, can’s always do it with Google, they tend to give biased hits. Proved that to myself months ago. They promote their agenda. Haven’t really found a search engine to use that just is not biased.

                                  pr0wlunwoof Yeah, looking at things outside the main stream is important. Trying to find unbiased sources could drive you crazy. Speaking of plans, they are really important and we’ve hamered it home time and time again on the podcast but having some plan for your meat supply is critical. I was pretty worried about all of this and then we had something happen near us, I laid out a plan with my wife on what we were going to do and slept like a baby that night. I just had to endure her looking at me like I was crazy for a few minutes, small price to pay for some additional security to both ourselves and our food!

                                    Jonathon yeah with us being pregnant we had to make allot of plans. We have good friends and family to lean on and haven’t had to yet, but its definately not getting better before it gets worse. Id say we are lucky, but as much as we can we make our own luck. Allot of people don’t understand the basics of home economics, living within your means, and planning for the future. We had good upbringings I guess most aren’t as fortunate.

                                      pr0wlunwoof Living within your means is something it seems like people have lost. My wife and I had just built a house and had traded in my car for a new one for her. As soon as we did that the engine blew on her old car. So, with all that money borrowed already for house and car, we didn’t go out and go deeper into debt. I bought a bicycle and rode into work for about 1.5 years and then bought a cheap old truck. This lets us save a certain % of our paychecks every month and not always be stressing about bills!

                                        Jonathon Would highly recommend looking into the principles of Dave Ramsey. Very sound and follows very wise fundamental values.

                                          pr0wlunwoof Living within your means is something it seems like people have lost. My wife and I had just built a house and had traded in my car for a new one for her. As soon as we did that the engine blew on her old car. So, with all that money borrowed already for house and car, we didn’t go out and go deeper into debt. I bought a bicycle and rode into work for about 1.5 years and then bought a cheap old truck. This lets us save a certain % of our paychecks every month and not always be stressing about bills!

                                          Jonathon Did you live a block from work? 😁
