I was given an old garage door opener. Had some scrape wood and a switch. Bought some wheels. Haha… it took two electricians to figure out how to get it to run just one way, though. I like it!
Sweet!
This is a project that’s been on my list for some time…maybe it will happen later this year.
Is that a barley crusher? What RPMs does it run, and what is the throughput?
Looks cool 
Please put a cover on that drive chain while you still have all your fingers!
It spins faster than I can crank it for more than about 30 seconds.
I haven’t run a batch through it, yet… so I don’t know how long it takes, but I’m guessing about 2.5 minutes for 10 lbs.
I’m going guard free… I like the danger factor! haha
I’m with Denny. Put a guard on the chain drive, and the belt drive.
You don’t want to get fingers or clothing in either. Or other body parts. 
Then your new nickname will be something like “Bleedy” or “Stumpy”…
Ummm…Yeah…That appears to be about waist-high, if I’m not mistaken.
It would be a shame to be leaning over, pouring in your grain & have an “oops”.
Sorry, for the graphic statement, but that’s scary.
…and that wouldn’t be good for your homebrew career…among other things.
I think you’d be much better off using a gear drive! No belts or chains. Also, with a Barley Crusher it needs to be reversible.
Cool, do you run it with the remote? ;D
A geared motor would be great! However… the garage door open was free. Here’s a question… why does it need to run backwards?
In case it doesn’t catch the free roller or it jams.
I didn’t think of that. Well, it’s easy enough to wire in a forward/reverse switch to it if need be.
Definitely not no pants brewing friendly…
It’s like using any power tool…don’t put your soft parts near the sharp bits.
