Another mill back up and running

Post by Kenneth »

Saturday I got my 6 footer back up on the tower.
This has been a long time coming. If anyone remembers,
I rebuilt the tower back in 2017. Then I had issues with my shoulder.
Finally got over that and was able to get it done.
Can anyone ID the mill in the background?

Kenneth,
Congratulations on completing another one. I wish I had your back yard.

Wayne, not with the clips on the face of the sails that wrap around. F&W it is.
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number.

Jim, everyone likes our back yard. It's nice, but takes some work to keep it up.

Mr. Ed. You are correct. 8 ft. Star 12

Thanks for the pictures. Nice to see another old mill back up. Take care of the shoulder. I have had two shoulder surgery's on the same one in the last year. They tell me now it won't ever be 100% but its better that it was.
