1958 Gears And Where They Fit In - Crabble Mill Water Mill

"Two people died in here." ... That was a grim detail I didn't expect to hear out of the blue haha.

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

lol - i guess it was a bit left field lol

[@corkycorner3232]

Better than content on the bbc. Bravo Robert.

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

cheers mate

[@PhilR0gers]

And you don't need a licence to watch it.

[@mikejones-vd3fg]

Nothing grinds my gears more then not having gears for the daily grind, great invention, great history lesson, thanks.

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@philipwilson1670]

Really like that you've taken this undervalued "universal" knowledge back outside to it's off-grid application and kindly shown us the modern worth of previous technological thinking. Genius future TV series, please......

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

That's a nice idea - cheers mate

[@yasirrakhurrafat1142]

@@ThinkingandTinkering brother, you need to be on tv. The amount of research you put in.. really makes a man weep. I know, very inappropriate. But I would love for more people to know bout you. TVs are filled with filler and unwatchable junk. You'd not only bring life to people, who're dead from watching dumb TV. But educate and instill admiration for your efforts.

I love these short little snippets of gold , thanks mate 👍. Enjoy the summer ashes 😁

[@stewartpalmer2456]

Absolutely things of beauty. And environmentally friendly for the most part.

I'm working on a power hammer I can operate sitting down. My gearbox selection was critical. Getting the hammer strike down to just under 2 times a second. The old Waterpower trip hammers are incredible. Great video! I like your new Photo!

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

I want to see that when it is done mate ! - awesome - cheers

We have an old mill like that down the road from my house and it's still working and producing. Awesome stuff

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

they are awesome places mate

[@lvhao5105]

Thank you sir. The content is educational.

[@travismoore7849]

My neighbors had a grist mill that was driven by a tractor. My grandpa took his corn to be milled to make his corn bread.

[@brotherpaul963]

Very interesting

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

Glad you think so!

[@grunwode]

I've always wondered what a fulling mechanism looked like ever since reading about it in Ken Follett's "The Pillars of the Earth." Thanks for showing us.

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

cheers mate

[@Struthio_Camelus]

Good afternoon!

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

good afternoon to you too mate

[@ch5139]

Always fascinating stuff. I’ve often wondered how much stone ends up in the flour 🤔

[@dedu458]

"In stone-grinding, the wheat is ground slowly between two stones. All other commercial flours, however, are ground with high-speed steel rollers. The heat generated by these steel rollers strips destroys many of the vitamins and enzymes in the wheat. The stones do not generate this heat, preserving the vitamins." It probably constituted a source of trace minerals for diet of old.. Today of course, replaced by microplastics and anti-caking agents. So much more sophisticated ! lol

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

I have no idea mate

[@Spinningininfinity]

Had to get your peck from somewhere😆 that's True Grit😁

[@10sheds21]

Not bothered by the stone it's the vermin droppings that give me cause to wonder.!

[@Spinningininfinity]

@@10sheds21 it's still there, just ground a lot finer by the steel rollers. Never you mind about the poop it's the maggots in the bottom of the barrel you might want to consider. (Of course these will add protein to your diet🫡😳😁)

The age of water became the age of steam which we are still powered by, even though we have the internal combustion its still kept under control by water. And don't get me started on Hydrogen but gears are as equally as important as well 😊.

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

for sure mate

By Roman times, there was a 1st Industrial Revolution because of water power. Gears and cams turned by water wheels increased production immensely.

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

i think you are right mate - it was an overlooked industrial revolution

[@10sheds21]

I have a Quorn which is certainly a hard way to make a loaf. I've given it away several times but sadly it always comes back. I'm always looking for an enthusiastic well built youngster.

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

they are tough things to use - especially everyday - everyone should try it just to appreciate how easy we really have it

[@toml.8210]

It's also where the sir name if "Miller" comes from.

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

it was indeed

Hi Robert, I was just wondering whether you had any affiliate links to purchase an Elegoo Neptune?

[@ThinkingandTinkering]
