I forgot who posted it but they suggested a 2x12 and clamped to the counter; that's what I did. This way I can remove it to store and it's not out in the open.
I took a new piece of 2x12x36". Mounted the mill about 15" or so from one end and of course centered on the board. I used stainless steel bolts and acorn nuts (to give a finished appearance that also is easy to clean and won't cut your hand if you bump into it). I had to inset the bolts on the back of the board so they wouldn't interfere with the counter, etc. I think the bolts were 2 1/2" x 3/8" - not sure though, they fit the hole perfectly in the mill.
I then purchased two new 6" C clamps (I wanted everything clean and new for this) to hold down to the counter. I'm going over to a friends shop soon and will acquire 4 pieces of plate steel that will be 4"x4". These will go into the corners on the 2x12 where the clamps mount and under the counter-top where the clamps mount. This way the little 3/4" clamp face won't be digging into the particle board of the counter or the 2x12. I'll mount with small flush fitting screws and glue.
Oh - as always, everything was fitted first before final torquing of nuts, etc. but before I attached everything I took a sander with 80 grit paper to the 2x12 to make it smooth, round off corners/edges and knock the first layer of 'stuff' off from the outside; makes me feel like it's clean and OK to work around my food.
I'm going to attach (try to) the pic's. If they're not there it's because W7 didn't strip my personal info out and I removed them or the board just didn't play nice with my pic's again.
Oh - and Mama10Bears.........see the cookies in the bag on the left of the mill!!

'You have been warned of what they will do, you have a choice.
Sit quiet and do nothing, wait until your hands are bound behind your back,
and you are on your knees in a ditch, begging for your life!
Or as an American, you had the privilege to be born free,
If you wish to die free you better get up off your ass and make it happen.
Stand and fight damn-it, if not these just might be the last words your hear,
‘AllahuAkbar! AllahuAkbar! AllahuAkbar!'
