Simply beautiful! We are in the process of building a water wheel driven grist mill in Pottsville, AR and hope to be up and running in 2024
That wonderful. Very best wishes for your success.
I want to learn more about American history and your videos helps a lot and I keep huge expectations from you
I am so glad to hear this! We try and balance the show with some educational stuff and some entertainment. There are a lot of little "hidden treasures" spread around the country, and we hope to share as many as we can. So glad to have you with us. Paul
What a stunning wheel and stunning town, i'd love to experience the whole America has to offer one day!
Thank you. I am so glad you enjoyed this one. I too would love to experience "the whole America has to offer," but even with an unlimited budget and unlimited energy I wouldn't live long enough to experience it all. But I'm going to give it the best go I can in the mean time. :-)
It was great to hear such a detailed description of the process. I live near the oldest still working mill in Canada; but build in 1819 it has nothing in this! Replacing the stone sounds like it'll be quite the job 😊
I love things like this that are still operating after so long. They were super accommodating to allow us to video and essentially give the presentation for me. Yeah, I suspect the biggest part of the hassle in changing out the stone is going to be moving the old one out of the building and moving the new one in. I have to admit, I'm not entirely certain how they are going to go about it.
I love your long extensive explanatory videos. Thanks for taking us on your trip. Did you buy some flour?
Thanks. I actually try not to make too many of them this long, but this time we had to. So glad you enjoyed it. Yes, we bought some whole wheat flour and some corn meal.
A timber would have been hewn with a broad ax and smoothed with an adze.
okay
Thanks for the video I liked it and I will share it.
Thanks Felix! I appreciate that.
I didn't share so far.
Interesting interior, here everything is still craft, nothing industrial. 🍞
Yes, it is largely the way it was from the beginning.
I'm sure it's up to code but I shudder at seeing electric conduits on the OLD wood. That and hundreds of years of grain dust just screams fire.
You do realize I am not a huge fan of rules, right? I suspect it will be okay.
Paul I hope so. I'd hate to hear of it burning down!
Do you happen to know when Real Russia guy is going to post again ? Ya just gotta wonder if they got a rent car and got out of the big city successfully or flew out to hangout with Mickey Mouse in 80 degree weather vs all that brrrr cold.
I am not certain when Real Russia will post next. They were suppose to fly out to home yesterday, so if that all happened on schedule then they are just getting home today, and I am sure it will take a little bit to get settled and rest up, and of course to do the post production on everything he videoed. So, soon, but I'd give it a little while still.
Are you still operating?
When you say "you" I presume you mean "they", and according to their website "While the Mill is closed to visitors during the pandemic, you can still purchase stone-ground organic and conventional flour, cornmeal, grits, and other products. Please call Rhonda at (410)-827-3850 or email oldwyemill@gmail.com to make arrangements!"
