Meat grinder?

[Applejack]

Well I have the can opener, the steel colander, the coffee pot, and some of the others. what I need now is a manual grain grinder.

I just picked up a copy of a magazine: American Survival Guide. It had some interesting articles, which I found helpful. One of them focused on 10 hand-operated kitchen tools they recommend if the grid were to go down, and you had no power. A hand crank meat grinder made the list.

The others were: Pastry Cutter; Apple Corer; Potato Masher; Stainless Steel Colander; Manual Can Opener; Grill Toaster: Manual Egg Beater; Cheese Grater; and Percolator (for Coffee).

IMHO these were good recommendations.

Looking to find a used one at the flea market or somewhere. With what I'm going to use it for you could never again use it on food for human consumption. LOL.

Dalewick: Have you tried the antique shops? I have a friend who deals in antiques. I will see if he has any advice.

Have you found one?

I have one that I picked up at a flea market several years ago, Bass Pro has them and they are identical to the older one I have. I picked up some parts for mine there.

I've been looking for a good one, most that I have looked at were cheaply made with bad machining and poor castings.
Here is one that looks pretty good but expensive http://www.grizzly.com/outlet/Stainl...rinder-8/H6249

I'm looking for a used old fashioned, hand cranked meat grinder to use for making trapping baits. Needs to be cheap. Thanks.
