Скачать или смотреть Safety First! Installing a Traditional Stone Mill (An Da Mo)

A little safety reminder to make traditional farm setups safer! In the video, two workers are installing a heavy stone mill. One person stands on the upper millstone to adjust its position, while the other assists from the ground — the scene looks both traditional and precarious.
Stone mills are made of dense, heavy stone, which is why they rely on gravity and friction to grind grain effectively. The textured surfaces of the upper and lower millstones press together as they rotate, breaking grains into a fine, even powder.
This traditional installation method uses the mill’s weight to ensure stability, but the heavy, smooth stone surfaces create a major slip hazard. If the person standing on the millstone loses balance, they could fall and be crushed by the heavy stone.
When installing a stone mill like this, always place a non-slip mat under the millstone, wear slip-resistant shoes, and coordinate closely with your team to avoid sudden movements. These steps will keep the process safe and controlled.
Installing a stone mill is a classic farm task, and this video shows why safety should always come first. A little preparation and caution can prevent serious accidents and keep your traditional setup running smoothly!
