Stone Hand Mill

The upper stone now can be rotated by the wooden hand-grip and the mill now grinds the grain into flour. As the stones also have a certain grit, the flour should not used for food preparation. It is a historical prop, anyway a great gear to show the ancient and medieval way of grinding.
