Thanks for excellent explanation....what a wonderful machine...You tickle me...''back in the olden days''...in the 1950s...l'm 84...come to think of it, that IS back in the olden days :)
l really did....l'm not mechanical at all, but your ''walk through'' was very clear. Restoring older machinery is a skill that many will need in coming days.@@metcalfmills5679
This is interesting to me because my French-Canadian grandparents owned a flour mill and a saw mill, both water powered as shown here at Woodson's Mill, but the river had a much greater flow. The amount of work they had to do to survive is beyond our modern-day capacity to understand. Most of my uncles (9 of them) were very mechanically savvy and helped my grandfather run the mill. It's very interesting to see this old technology revived.
@@metcalfmills5679 I do. I have a picture of my great uncle's mill, which I can send you if you want. It is a picture of just the outside of the building, not the inner workings.
Hey Justin, These mill videos are so cool. I came up in Mississippi as a boy. Now I'm in Minneapolis Minnesota. In 1880 Minneapolis was the largest producer of milled flour in the world. In 1880 they produced two million barrels and by 1910 they were producing 15.4 million barrels. Today most of that is gone but downtown on the Mississippi River the have a Mills Museum tour with all the old equipment and exhibits explaining how and what they did. We take all our visitors there. I'm a garden fan and anything mill related so I'm guessin I'm gonna like your channel just fine. Take care till next time!
Oh UWBF thank you so much for sharing this ! I think a lot of folks will appreciate it. That is definitely a place I would love to visit ! Thank you and you all as well !
Justin, I sure do enjoy seeing how things were done in the past. It is surprising how innovative these old machines really are! Thank you for sharing this video, it was very interesting indeed.

Great explanation. Thank you I have now watched and commented on all your videos that I could there were two or three that comments had been cut off. Right now you are at 160 subscribers in the little while I ave been watching you have shot up over 30 subscribers. I have enjoyed watching you get more comfortable in front of the camera. Your doing great!

@@metcalfmills5679 I'm now a HUGE FAN of your work''' I believe I was born in the wrong century""We just purchased a hand crank grain mill for our homestead" your helping to keep the nation's history alive sir"" keep up the good work" THANKS
That's a beautiful mill you did and it looked like it was going to get a great home to be grinding in. That's got to make you proud to take a piece of history that was a pile if junk and returning it to its original glory to be used again. Just awesome job. Keep up the good work and God bless you
Howdy, I didn't know you done all this stuff. Your a man of many talents. I got my grandpaws mill and we are wanting to far it up. Would love to talk to you about it
I would love to go and visit some old mills, know there are an old mill in pigeon forge, tennessee but it is not working or at least i do not think it is, they do grind there mill but, i do not believe it is with the older mill that is on the place.
Usually the mills that I restore the stones are ok and just need dressing (sharpening). When I do need stone I use NC native Salisbury pink granite. One of the hardest granites. I look forward to sharing stone dressing here !
