The White Mill Sandwich





Please visit www.whitemill.info for more details about the mill.
With the whips safely stored out of the way, it was time to turn our attention to moving the stock outside to create more working space in the workshop.
Easier than it sounds, when you consider that the stock is almost 40ft long & weighs in at around 1 ton! It first had to be lifted onto a trailer such that it was more-or-less balanced, this was relatively straightforward & it could now be moved.
However in order to get it out of the building a degree of manoeuvering was necesary... this is where things became more challenging! But as always, "applied physics" solved the problem & the stock is now outside & suitably protected.
