Quernifactionary goodness alert!

I've put together a couple of videos looking at the quern project. What is a quern? It's a tool for grinding grain into flour. Basically it has two elements, the base stone, called the quern stone, which is static, and the head or handstone, which moves. The head stone's movement against the quern stone grind the grain into a meal, or flour. The whole project was undertaken as part of the business run by Lord Everard Sefar, Mistress nicolette Dufay and myself (Days of Knights), but the project has seen a couple of SCA outings, notably at a Shire of Krae Glas meeting and the October meeting of the Suth Gild Heall's Cooks and Brewers Guild, where we went all the way from whole grain to bread in an afternoon.

The videos we have are:

If you spill them on your lap whilst driving and suffer scalds don't even contemplate suing. Do not use iron (golf or electrical) while in the shower. Embrace cynicism & sarcasm. Using all the vowels of the alphabet, in order, in a word is just being facetious. All images are copyrighted to the photographer (usually me) under Australian law. Permission to use them is usually given if I'm asked politely. Questions, comments and heartfelt praise can be sent to gwynfor(at)optushome(dot)com(dot)au. Ensure all cooked food is either kept hot, is refrigerated or is disposed of. Those who live by the sword have their fighting attire dyed by the sward. What's another word for thesaurus? Every silver lining has a cloud. Approximate once, cut as many times as necessary. If the tool you're using isn't working you need a bigger hammer. If it doesn't fit, force it - if it breaks it needed replacement any way. There may be more than one way to skin a cat, but the bonus is that, no matter what method you use, you end up with a skinned cat. Life is like an analogy.
