After it sets up in the fridge for several hours I will give it the taste test and if it's good I'll bring some for the meet on the 4th.

I bet if it tastes great it won't last till the 4th. lol

Good lookin grinder you built there. Nice job.  :tup:

Toss some of that sausage in the smoker for about 6 hours. I think you'll like it.
May the morning silence be broken with the wisp of vanes trailing blades to their mark.

Nice work.  I built one similar about 10 years ago.  I wore the damned thing out.

I thought I would update this thread. Since this grinder was built, myself (and several others) have ground over 1500 lbs of meat :yike:. With all new parts, the thing would rip through anything that wasn't frozen and push it through a 3/16" plate without hesitation. As parts (mainly the knife) started to wear it wasn't so forgiving anymore. So last weekend I upgraded the motor from a 3/4 hp to 1-1/2 hp. I then ground 75lbs of elk/pork shoulder in record time with a dull grinder knife. If you decide to build one, go will max HP.

Can't do whole legs but I don't have to cube, just cut in 2x2xVarious length strips. The screw won't grab large chunks.

It's not too bad Huey, you feed it from the "non-business" side. There is a standing rule that no kids can be around and no alcohol can be consumed until the grinding is complete.

Wow, I don't know how I missed the original post, but I'm glad you updated it so I can see that monstor grinder.  Great job on it.  That motor should last you a lifetime.  John

I wish I were so handy to build my own stuff that I want  :'(

Well, at least I got a new 3/4hp commercial grinder at Cabelas for $280 at the bargain cave :rockin:

I am seriously thinking of buying the parts to do this before elk season.  3 of us have cow tags and my little $100 grinder almost died last year after doing 2 bulls.  Plus it took FOREVER to grind up all we had to do. How is your grinder working after a few years.  Have you had to replace anything but the motor?
