The new mill has two machinery decks. The main sits on 8x8" legs which supports 8x12's"and 4x12's" beams over the deck, The deck is finished off with 4x8" decking. A heavy duty structure, but necessary on the mill floor to support not only the carriages and machinery, but the constant movement of men and material on the cutting floor. This main deck along with an adjacent sorting deck and a lower machinery deck will complete the basic New Mill structure - however it won't get assembled until much later in the process. As this structure is open I am thinking about adding surface mounted LED's yellow bulbs to the trusses. It would highlight the machinery and scene underneath. I had bought a small number of lights and straight neck lamp holders from Ngineering last year. I knew I was going to use them!!!!!!!

| The carriage pulley control wires and the pulleys themselves mount to the inside rectangular holes in the deck |
I've started the build of the sorting deck which will sit to the left side of main deck as shown. A second deck will fill in the empty square space where the exactly blade is sitting. When they are done
I'l post it...........
Til next time...
