    Should have mounted it on the box away from the corner, Most shellers will then spit the empty cob out away from the box for you to easily discard. In this case the box is blocking it's exit. Also the spring tension may need adjustment for the size of the corn. Most when adjusted properly pull the corn down without fighting it down.

    My grandpa had a corn grinder like that he used into 1970s. He had a couple pigs and a cow he would feed the corn to.

    Good video! I wasn't planning on watching this but it caught my attention. You explained the process well.

    Wish I had this as a kid. Had so many blisters doing this by hand, so we could corn houses in the fall.

    Ours is very similar to this. Simple machines are sometimes the most genius.

    Use the Hominy/Masa recipes to nixtamalize the corn and release more vitamins.

    Where did you find the box?

    So what happens to the cob?
    Put the cob in the outhouse to wipe with. Cobs used thusly can then be burned in the cook stove.
