Garbage Disposal Apple Grinder

[oniichanrikku]

That's very handy indeed. :)

[Myk63]

@oniichanrikku Yep, cheap and gets the job done.

[mehquig]

THat's a good solution to a problem I haven't had yet :)

[Myk63]

@mehquig The internet has been a good resource for me.

[TheWestAussie]

not bad. i would be doing the same thing. rather than spend big dollars on buying the proper one

[Myk63]

@TheWestAussie There are other ways to build your own but this seems to be the cheapest and it's pretty much already made.

[imperceptibleme]

Wow Mike how cool!!! Lots easier than DC's hand grinder. Hugs!

[Myk63]

@imperceptibleme Hand grinding was never in my plans. Whatever I made it was going to be motorized.

[DearestBecky]

That looks like a nifty idea. You are very smart coming up with ways of saving money and eating healthy. Very self sufficient.

[Myk63]

@DearestBecky Some things like this I searched the internet for. My idea for an apple grinder takes a stack of saw blades, a welder, a bunch of stainless steel, pulleys and a big motor. My brother can get me the saw blades for free but not fast enough to make a stack of them.

[Myk63]

@RobWillieJesse That works better for beer.

[Xbox360FanSite]

Great always like your place looks like paradise or is there more to it? lol Great video Mike as always Thumbs Up brother

[Myk63]

@Xbox360FanSite For the suburbs of cornfields it's not that bad :)

[AxeMoose]

Good idea :)

[Myk63]

@AxeMoose Simple and effective.

[liljack8421]

This is very interesting! Grind them apples then make some sort of liqueur with it!

[Myk63]

@liljack8421 Apple-Honey wine.

[TheMinisterofDefence]

Is this an OSHA approved device? lol.

[Myk63]

@TheMinisterofDefence It sure wasn't when I was using my hand to push the apples in. That will sure get your attention when the hammers start working and making their noise.

It was mounted above the press then so I wouldn't have been able to get my hand in it. Once I started using the tub I cut the dowel.

[steviejacko]

I love drinking cider and keep meaning to make some, my father in law does it , i think i will take the plunge soon , thanks for sharing this very interesting video : )

[Myk63]

@steviejacko It's been a childhood dream of mine to make cider. I aimed big :)

It is the best I've had.

[Myk63]

@patches4patches It works and is way under half the price you can think about getting a manual apple crusher for.

[greggfla]

Very cool idea! Seems to work like a charm too!

[Myk63]

@greggfla Of course you probably wouldn't want to scrounge the disposal out of the garbage but it is a clever repurposing.

I'm working on something you'll probably appreciate even more. It's a complete repurposing I picked up off the net. When I finish the video I'll send it to you to make sure you get it.

[HeyThatsHolly]

Neat idea!

[Myk63]

@HeyThatsHolly If you saw the price for real apple grinders you'd really be impressed.

[Myk63]

@golfernky I don't know if I'd go that far, but it works. If I could scrounge up about 4" width worth of saw blades I'd make a different one that had more course of a grind.

[maddiepost1]

Genius! Also love the comments from and to yourself! ;)

[Myk63]

@maddiepost1 The idea came from orchard forums, I don't lay claim to it. Although I would like to take away as much profit as I can from a guy who's selling plans to make what is available for free on the internet. Mainly because he spams his book on the forum where I got the idea.

I'd like to block that guy from making comments but YT won't allow it :)

[dagocleo]

this is so cool !!! I have to check what we have as an equivalent over here, I really appreciate you doing this vid for, take care !

[Myk63]

@dagocleo I appreciate ideas for videos :)

Have you thought about hooking a motor up to yours?

[Myk63]

You are so godlike, may I worship you?

[Myk63]

@Myk63 Yes, but only you are worthy of such an honor.

[lastcallbeam]

thats cool...i like makin peach cider...

[Myk63]

@lastcallbeam Hopefully one of these years I'll be making plum for wine.
