Posted - 03/01/2021 : 7:14:36 PM Here is the hoist tower I know everyone has been waiting for this. RIGHT!!
Anyway it has the name on it. And after doing all the cross pieces I've decided to leave the way it is and make it under construction. Detailing the outside with lumber being readied for being put up.

I'm going to use TYVEK for the belts.
Just finish cutting and staining the wood for the tower. |

Posted - 02/12/2021 : 12:37:11 AM Are those aluminum shavings ever going to see the floor, or did you lose them?  This is one fine looking model Jerry. The lineshaft really adds to the nostalgic look. Keep going on it.

Just thanks to you all for all the wonderful compliments.
Larry the belts are long in the Mill. And Mike it will get some dirt on the floors just to make it look like someone works there! |
