Hi
Brilliant
Wow what a man, what a craftsman dont think you would get modern day lads doing that lifting those beams by hand on his own H & S would be jumping up and down what a joy to see this all apprentices should be made to watch craftsmen that this cos for rest of their lives they will never see another
A pleasure to watch

Man that was really neat, talk about old school. Not for me but it sure is neat that these old mills are still running. Loved it. Thanks.

Great! I went to school with a guy that built/dug out his own mill and mill race to power a couple old wooden flour mills.
For those of you who live in or near Butler County Ohio, he had it(40 years ago at least) next to the Woodsdale Bridge over the Great Miami River.

It was such a novel in those days that he sold a lot of flour.

Sorry, just had to mention this
