The mill is making a little progress. 1st photo is the stones before bolt-up. last is after some bolting. Click photo for all. Pulley on right side of last photo drives the mill. The red coupling between the pulley is an eccentric coupling that's suppose to make the sifter work. Stories say that they have never worked. Shine says, he'll make this one work??

That paint job makes it almost look like cast iron. It's looking fine!

That is so cool! What made you decide to do this? I am awed as when reading/researching/touring history, you see and hear quite a bit about grist mills. The Whitman Mission in Walla Walla, WA is the one that first comes to mind for me. Great job!

PS: V is surprised I like this stuff. :0)

The thing setting on top of last photo is the spout for meal. One of last things to be replaced. It fits in somewhat square hole in side.
BTW. Ya'll come by for chittlings on Sunday.

There was a young lass from Aberystwyth,
Who took grain to the mill to make grist wyth,
The miller's son, Jack,
Laid her flat on her back,
And united the organs they pissed wyth.
