When fabrication is near indistinguishable from castings; perfect execution and combination of form following function. That in it's self is a rare occurrence. Detailing in the early photos interesting enough; the final product is astounding.

...we'll learn more by wandering than searching...

I am a little bit disappointed to see it is not hooked to a line shaft or at least a water wheel, where is your initiative man??!!!!![]()
Just kidding!!! Seriously that is a very fine piece of work. I really like the wheels. You had me going, I was studying that first picture, trying to figure out how they would have cast those big, finely curved spoked wheels back in the day. How skilled the pattern maker must have been. And the foundryman, to ram the molds. Then looking at the frame, imaging making the patterns, and ramming that up in a mold... "back in the day".
Very nice.
