The name of this project refers to the traditional Iranian hand mill, known as "dastās," which consists of a movable round stone and a fixed stone. The movable stone is typically circular, with a hole in the center, and is equipped with a wooden handle on the side, allowing it to be manually operated for grinding wheat.
