Broken and Very Rusted Mill Restoration

This is a Corn Milling Machine type Avimat.
This machine is used to break corn grains.
I found this machine at flea market, it cost me 15 euro.
As you can see is still in a good condition but you need lot of force to mill, i see some machine like this with a engine.
This restoration took me about 5 days and i try to show you only the best parts, behind the scenes was lots of work.
I hope you enjoy it!
