Took a small laundry basket and coated it about 50 plus times in paper machet. Hard as a rock baby!.

I turn it with a bunch of pencils taped together and poked through the back of the basket. I spin it like a top and then throw in my rice crispies mix.

Or maybe:confused:, you could throw it in the front seat of your car and ride over speed bumps all day! :D Just an idea!

I 'm confident the set up I have might work better. If the point of the pencils are sharpened enough, the mill actually spins quite nicely. The rice crispies spin off all of their sticky goo, and then you can add you 2FA.

At best what you're describing might be called a lousy star roller, not even close to a ball mill.

an old vacum cleaner and paint bucket works far better
