    My grandfather Tom Bancroft worked for the Elders Pastoral Company in NSW, Australia as a Shearing Expert during the six month shearing season and a blacksmith during the off season. He told me prior to the automatic tail being introduced to Southern Cross windmills that protected windmills from Running Away during violent wind storms, it was not unusual for teeth to be torn off the cast iron crown wheel or pinion. He would go to the site of the damaged wind mill, dismantle the crown wheel and pinion and lower them to the ground then scratch around in the dust under the mill until he located the broken teeth. He would then light his charcoal burning forge and pump the wind bellows, heating the damaged parts until they glowed cherry red, then place the crown wheel on his anvil and sprinkle the damage tooth root with salt and place the tooth in its correct alignment then place a copper drift on it and hit that hard with a lump hammer. The shock would cause the broken surfaces of the cast iron to momentarily liquify and as it cooled the two parts would become whole again. In liquifying the cast iron some of the molten metal often sprayed out of the joint and went straight through leather gauntlets he wore on his arms. The skin on his arms looked as though they had been tattooed with blue stripes.. He said surprisingly it wasn't painful but reckoned it smelt like bacon cooking.

    It's been over a year now since we took down our windmill for much needed refurbishing. The goal is to have it up by July 4th, 2014. Thank you Paul of Paul's Windmill and Crane Service for rebuilding the motor and answering all our questions. A tremendous help.
