[TheForge] Grinder rollers

[Peter Fels And Phoebe Palmer]

I thought that they are so expensive and I have all this nifty 
junk...I'll just make one.
My dear wife pointed out that, in the end, if i was paying myself 
minimum wage...VS the cost of a new machine...i might have come 
out even , maybe..but got a poorer quality machine in the end.
This is not to say that i won't make the same mistake next time...PF
