water Mill restoration

<< < (3/10) > >>

smiffy:
This is the gear that I am replacing .It is driven from the pit gear on the main wheel and drives the vertical wooden shaft .
This shaft has a large cast iron gear on it with wooden teeth that drive the mill stones
The gear is held onto the hexagonal  wooden shaft with wooden wedges

Very nice bit of bending - and it fits  :thumbup:

smiffy:
Thank you, not sure if it was luck or judgement ,possible a bit of both
Mike

awemawson:
Years of experience I suspect  :clap:

Pete W.:
I believe that those inserted wooden gear teeth were often/usually made of apple wood.
