whyyyyy is there absolutely nothing i can find on how to build a quern?? i don't have the money to spend on like $150+ just to mill grain man, just show me how to wack rocks and put them together like has been done for millenia

#op #best i could find is some near illegible diagrams of the parts?? which i could only make the barest sense of #there's this one aussie guy who made a video showing like the first half of making one!!! and then apparently they moved #and he never finished it augh 😩#and i don't have access to visually take it apart. if i did i might just use it #although... perhaps the museum has one? don't recall seeing any but certainly couldn't hurt to go #i have an old coffee grinder i'll try to fix up for it but. it would be nice to try and build a rotary quern #yknow. have something actually *meant* for milling flour rather than grinding up beans for coffee #maybe this summer i can find some rocks and just fuck around and find out #i mean how hard could it be? ahahahaha :|#i wonder if regular sieves will work or if i'll need proper ones... at least those are cheaper. i can weave now too so maybe make that also #google why the hell is it so hard to find good information on something humanity has been doing for over ten thousand years
