I think this article provides interesting background on workflow and reducing barriers to entry for posting - and is worth considering as we design the next web site improvements and integrate with other partners. http://www.wired.com/opinion/2013/03/github/

Thank you for the offer of translation. I need to order a copy of the book myself. Based on some recent conversations, The ADABio folks were happy to have us post other designs as well - It would be great if you are able to translate and share any of the other designs you think would be useful to the community. One of the issues it seems is translating the metric to standard steel stock dimensions. I have heard from another farmer that they have already built a version using standard stock, and am waiting to get the design from them to post. Another option would be finding a good supplier of metric steel for the C channel and square tube stock. It would be great to have them be cross compatible. It would also be good to know if the Jiffy hitch is cross compatible with the ADABio design. Here is a link to a video about the jiffy hitch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID5xjHvT7qs and a link the the web site http://www.jiffyhitchsystems.com/index.php/jiffyhitchesmenu I gave them a call and got current pricing Female Cat I $331- Ca I HD $337 - cat II $ 459 cat II HD $524 male Cat I $637 - Cat II $736 Cat IIHD $824 The delta hook does not look to be compatible with this design http://www.deltahook.com/ I don't know if I will make my own male side, but compared with the work in a normal three point implement, a manual process of locking the top seems fairly easy and still avoids many of the safety issues involved with hitching up 3 point implements. I think from the open source perspective It would be terrific to build one to study and hopefully improve.

The unit we ran that was built on the plans is in Brattleborough Vermont. We had it here for the Farm Hack New Hampshire event and tested it on oats and It worked very well. We did not set up the cyclone separator but we used a clipper fanning mill to separate the chaff and we had a product which was clean enough to make oatmeal with. The raw footage is being sent to me next week which should show the unit running and working - but while I track that down I can post some still images I tool before we ran it. The images taken are inside the sheet metal housing mostly show the stator and cylinder with flat fan blades which create airflow to blow out hulled material. The stator blocks a good view of the gap between stator and cylinder. The other photo is of the gate to control flow into the huller.

Great to see your post - Our farm has started to parch/roast sweet corn and flint corn for corn meal and were thinking about having a local coffee roaster do it, but I think that this would be a great project for the farm hack community. I think if the root washer setup with a steel mesh screen instead of wood slats were combined with the flame weeder setup - including the ignition module that is posted that it would probably be a fairly efficient setup.
