More on the grain cracker? Be good, if it's easy enough, to use to grind up corn/peanuts/etc for deer bait.

Its a one off. The 80 Rockwell rollers were from a 70’s pressure fusing copier, none around anymore.

Here‘s a few alternatives, some powered, some hand crank.

Let's revisit this thread... started the day with cutting the legs off my newer welding table. Welded them back on to the outside corners. Started drilling 5/8 holes on the top. Bought some 5/8 shoulder bolts, cut the threads off, and welded adjustable clamps to the top of the shoulder bolt.

Got the table top drilled out today. 4 inches apart. I still need to make my other clamps, and put the shelf under the top.

Foodservice shelves, good choice. I see those at work, and we can put heavy stuff on them. Also the ones over the sinks allow things to drip dry.

Made a foot operated shrinker/shretcher stand. I used some stuff I had in the shop. Some four link bars, and ends. I made the top plate spin so I can use which ever one I need. Takes up less space. Not quite fi ished with it, but that's the basics of it.

Started upgrading the tire changer from HF. Haven't tried it out yet. Still need to clean up the welds, and paint.

Agree! Where did you get the tire rib piece?
Amazon it was like 20 bucks. It was the only metal one I could find under 50 bucks. Had good reviews. I wasn't sure about the plastic duck head, or duck beak something like that. A lot of the reviews on the plastic ones said they broke after a few uses.

You have a link to it, I think I could duplicate your engineering? Shop looks much better as well, great work!
