Dave gahimer's conversations

I was wondering about how much one of this turbines is worth.

Don Price, WoodMizer bandsaw mill owner from Brazil Indiana, begins the first cut on Red Oak logs for new timbers for the restoration of the Historic 1823 Bridgeton Mill

This small Village general Store served the local farming community around Mansfield for many years. They still DO NOT have a Wallmart, thank goodness.

WoodMizer Bandsaw Mill owner Don Price from Brazil Indiana prepairs to saw Red Oak logs from Dave & Dorothy Gahimers woods near Bridgeton into timbers for restoration of the Historic 1823 Bridgeton Mill

Bridgeton Mill Owner Mike Roe stacks large Red Oak timbers that will be used in the restoration of the 1823 Mill

Rob Jones, on the left trims Ash logs with a chainsaw, WoodMizer Bandsaw mill owner Don Price, & local volunteer Joe Szymaszek saw timbers for the restoration of the Historic Bridgeton Mill. Large Red Oak timbers in the foreground will be placed in the lower floor of the mill as replacement columns holding up the interiour floors.

Bridgeton Mill owner Mike Roe, and Woodmizer Bandsaw mill owner Don Price begin sawing a 21'6" Ash log into a 12" x 8" beam to be used to hold up a walkway floor on the east side of the Mill. This walkway is part of Restoration work Mike & Karen Roe have been doing to save the historic Bridgeton Mill, This walkway will again give access to the water inlet gate that controls water to the power Turbines located under the Mill

This smaller example Grinding stone is made from French hand cut stones held together by an Iron band. The hard marble French stone was considered the best by Millers as it lasted longer and did not put "Grit" in your biscuts! The pieces for this grinding wheel were hauled across the Atlantic in a wooden ship, across the Applacation mountains by horse drawn wagon to Illinois originally.

These old Turbines, recently (2008) accquired from Michigan, will be refurbished and placed in the Turbine Room at the bottom of the Mill. They will once again power the Mills machinery with water. They could also provide @ 120,000 watts of electricty to the Bridgeton community, without burning an ounce of Coal or a drop of Oil.
