I just looked and over 3,200 hundred people have looked at it since yesterday and I've had people from many countries (I'm viewed in 55 countries) remark on the mill, so I am pleased. The video had 118 comments and 331 likes and a 99.4% like rate, so that's really good. I will probably come over to the Micro Brew Festival if they will let me and film that. That is apparently a big deal. I've never attended it. Thanks for watching and commenting too! Nancy, you have a great week! Best, -Mark

I've never seen a working water mill as nearly all of the ones in my country are gone. Mostly because they were primarily made of wood (including the building). For example I know there used to be at least two water mills my town during 1800s as we have the largest rapids in entire country (though they have been dammed since early 1920s for hydropower). I've visited only a wind mill before but from what I can recall the mechanism is pretty much the same. Anyhow. Thanks for the intteresting video!

Either that or the capital Helsinki. Personally I prefer the rural areas (which is most of the country) and I sort of enjoy living in the lakeland region. Still, it's pretty much just endless forest dotted with hundreds of small and large lakes, and sleepy small towns with aging population, so for anyone who enjoys, say, cottageering or kayaking or uneventful life it's great. For people looking for action and sights not so much. Especially during winters which are cold and dark.

Mark, You excelled on this post. Better than anything I've seen on the BBC here in the UK and they have resources and budget! Did you wonder why most moving equipment and internals were manufactured from wood instead of metal? This is to prevent sparks which could ignite wheat flour which is 35 times more combustible than gunpowder. Good to see USA finally preserving industrial past. I think you'd enjoy the soothing sound of a windmill too. Holgate windmill, York, is a rare survivor of a working mill surrounded by suburban housing in my home city.
