    Default Water mill with belt driven machines

    Hi,

    Saw maker Isaac Smith of Blackburn Tools recently posted on his blog a link to this video made in 1981 of Ben Thresher and his water mill. In the video Ben makes a wooden tub and a sled. All made with his variable speed belt driven machines.
    It is well worth a watch.
    Video here : http://www.folkstreams.net/film,187

    Lovely film, an hour well spent watching that. Thanks for posting! I'd like to have a go at making a trough like that one day.

    I really haven't had a chance to sit back and watch this video, but the bit I have watched makes me sure I will set aside time to watch the rest.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Cheers,

    Camo
