Project Thomas has hit a bump in a Kansas road. I hadn't realized that my sister-in-law had incorporated my most complete treadle grinding wheel into her most recent landscape architectural endeavors.
This represents a political conundrum of gigantic proportion. On the one hand, she's a fantastic pie maker, bread baker and cook and my chair finds itself pulled up to her table frequently when I'm in Kansas. She sewed the draperies for the windows of my Kansas abode. When I write for trade publications she edits my sentence structure and grammar. I have to weigh all these personal considerations against the interests of the members of the BESS Exchange. Hmmm...I think that I will just build a treadle powered grinder this summer out of 1.5" square steel tubing and a home engineered stone. Add an old steel tractor seat commodious enough for my ample derriere and we'll be pedaling our way to sharper edges in the Tormek fashion.
I know on which side my homemade bread is buttered.
