The rebuilt turbines were returned to us and installed in 2004,
again using the crane. Gears and shafting for the large turbine
(40 horsepower) include new wooden gear teeth to provide power
for the saw. The small turbine is 25 hp.

Open for Business
On June 28, 2005, we cut our first log. It took some time (volunteers
met at the mill weekly for seven years, except during winter
months), but we eventually opened to the public in June 2006.
We are open from May to October. A workshop is being built on
the second floor next to the museum, with the hope of running
woodworking demonstrations and practical workshops.
