The Mesquite-milling process
The Saguaro-Juniper hammer mill is driven by Pat Corbett's Suzuki, which runs a wheel running atop a pair of mobile-home wheels to operate the belt driving the mill (designed by David).
People brought their own mesquite beans in paper bags and bushel baskets, each participant sorting their own prior to milling.
The hammer mill breaks apart the pods, and grinds the flour.
Milled material collects in a tray at the bottom.
