WATCH Stone Masons Create a Millstone by Hand in 1966

Naaaaaa they are light truck wheels and axles - probably WW2 surplus. The wheels are too big for jeeps. scan on a frame by frame basis, 1:20 - 1:21 - There is a valve hole in the rim to inflate the inner tyre - on a two wheel hub, and it has split rims, AND that is a BIG truck hub... the Jeeps had very small hubs. Ummmm here is a jeep https://hymanltd.com/wp-conten....t/uploads/2014/12/53 - but I got to thinking that this place might not be the UK, it may be eastern western Europe and the wheel and axle set might be military trailer sets.... This front wheel is similar, but not close.... https://i.pinimg.com/1200x/fb/....3a/5b/fb3a5bfca22303 This might be your best place to find an exact match.....

They are either field gun axles or trailer axles - just figure out the capacity of the tyres and bearings and axles - and then sniff around at the biggest mill stones and work out the volume and then density of the basalt mill stones ..... and then divide that by 2 = 1/2 for each axle....

They look like war suplus = dirt cheap.... could be england, france, hungary, estonia, poland, etc...... Could be fucking anywhere.

At the very start Mendes - Basalt Quarry - Here is one in France.... In Mende, France, stone masons historically crafted millstones, particularly French buhrstones, which were prized for their quality and used in flour mills. These millstones were often built up from sections of quartz cemented together and bound with iron. The region around Mende, and specifically the Marne Valley, was known for producing these buhrstones. More Details: French Buhrstones: These millstones were made from a specific type of quartz found in the Marne Valley. Construction: Unlike monolithic millstones, French buhrstones were constructed from multiple segments of quartz, which were then cemented and bound with iron. Use: These millstones were primarily used for grinding grains into flour in mills. Craftsmanship: The process of creating millstones involved skilled stonemasons who would carefully shape and assemble the quartz segments. Mende's Role: While the text doesn't specifically state Mende as a major millstone production center, the broader region of France, including the Marne Valley, was known for producing French buhrstones, which were highly valued for milling. Historical Context: The production of millstones, especially French buhrstones, was a significant part of the milling industry in France for many centuries

I will delete this video and make ONE video about all the process from quarrying, to making to installing and running - better to have ONE video that 5 or 6.

The big tall guy, and his hat - he looks WW2 German.
