Give that scrap guy my number if he's ever up in the Pacific NW! Those are beauties, what fun to get a power mill going. Any idea what you'll drive with them? Raz

I have been wanting to find one for years and then these two found me within three months and were only a half hour apart. I'm not sure yet what I will run with them, but I want to get them going to see how they work.
I will post more pics soon

Here are a couple of pics of where I'm at with the power mills, I'm getting a small bevel gear and some other parts recast so I'm waiting on them.

Very nice Peter!!

Kinda funny today, I was working on a project with one of my Nestle counterparts that used to be from Chesterville. And was telling him about my windmill friend up there.

Those are cool!

The old Nestle plant is still sitting there pretty much empty, except this week they are shooting some movie scenes in there, Mel Gibson is here.

Aren't they growing weed in part of it?

LOL if they are, maybe they're selling some of it down here in "Toke"lahoma.

No the weed business went bust before it stared

A friend that found me my two 14 foot Goold Shapley & Muir Powermills found this wheel. It's a 14 foot eight section wheel in excellent condition except that someone cut a piece off of two sails. 3 spokes were missing which I made and going to get galvanized. Now I need an eight spoke hub to make it fit on one of my mills. Anyone got one laying around?
