Trip to Hannaford Mills

Post by Windcatcher530 Dan »

Me and my brother checked out this mill that started around 1850s.Started out with lumber and then also wooden barrel tops and also ornate wood moldings and eventually grain . They also sold sawdust to pack around ice blocks to stop from melting.Power came from a metal water wheel to steam and eventually a huge Dynamo that also supplied the town who was charged by the light bulb.

It will start at about sixty. I have moved it up to 80. When running them with steam they have inline oilers for the cylinder. Don't know if I could rig one up running on air or not. May put that question out on smokstak.
