Let's explore John Wood Mill. Using water power, we'll grind corn, learn about flour and a saw mill.

Just found your channel, thanks for all the great history and explanation. I never quite knew how these worked before.

Thanks for watching my videos! We are currently in production for season 2 which has 15 more great mill videos....

I Love it .

[@millin360]

It's a very well displayed museum.

Jim, have you investigated the John Adams mill at Cutler, Indiana? My Great-great grandmother was raised by John's descendants at the mill. The mill is not in operation, but a very great history of Carroll County is there. A post Office once was housed there. Milling and other operations happened. I would love to see your video of this mill. Thank you!

If you could get me some contact information for the current caretaker or owner of the mill, we will try to get something scheduled. [e-mail]

Nice video!

Thank you! Woods Mill is a very well-done museum. There is an entire lineup of mill videos on my KZbin channel. Thank you for watching my videos.

Fragmented millstones probably became about when the quarry's seam depleted of complete rounds. Metal banding permitted broken millstones during manufacturing or scrap piles to be salvaged. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5TXioiklrelbrs A Fitz Waterwheel Co welded factsimily (not riveted) overshot wheel takes 2 filled buckets of water (about 80 gallon) to start the 15-20 revolutions per minute. It originally used a 24 inch octagonal wooden shaft with a 12 foot diameter wood wheel mounted with wood spokes (cast master bevel gear has 24" octagon opening).

Wow! That is great information. Thank you for sharing. I will include this in upcoming episodes......

I do not believe the sawmill is genuine to the 1837 sawmill

[@millin360]

You are correct. That is a reproduction of the sawmill that sat closer to the original gristmill, neither one still exist.
