The Mill at Jacobs Creek

[Barney]

The lower deck has now been installed and the embankment can bee seen at the rear - the upper deck is at the moment a balancing act complete with a "Gremlin" of which there has been many !  its all been a bit of trial and error getting it to look something like the prototype
Photos below show the progress so far
1:  lower deck installed in 3 sections

2 :upper deck un - finished

3: Upper deck with CIRCULAR SAWS trial fit
Gremlin not shot yet

[Barney]

4: Lower deck yet to have ground cover and weeds around the floor to give it that lived in look - The boiler will be located on the right on a concrete base in the open area
please note all wood and parts in an unfinished state -plenty of knot holes - brackets and a forest of uprights

 Gordon - I had this dream followed by a vision -  Base board no 2 should take care of the Tug along with the Gold Dredger on the river estuary it will also house the Saw mill log pond and yard .
About December 2023 should do it - so plenty of time for you to perfect your perfection !! and lets have plenty of photos of the tug to give us all inspiration !
Rebuilding the pulley drive system for the mill - now that I have found more info' from a gem of a catalogue "R.R.Howell Saw Mill Machinery & Supplies"
loads of drawings /plans /dimensions all 172 pages - it "just takes your breath away"

Barney,

the machinery looks great - even in that unpainted state. I'm in awe how many items you're cranking out in such a short time. I mean, it isn't 'just' collecting, cutting and making the parts and building something out of it, but a lot of research and technical comprehension, too. I'm looking forward to next posts!
