Before Electricity: Inside a Historic Windmill – Part 3 | Installing and Dressing 3-Ton Millstones

⚙️ Before Electricity — Inside a historic working windmill, where traditional millstones are installed and prepared long before modern milling technology. 🪨 In this episode, we follow the installation, dressing, and balancing of massive 3-ton millstones, the core mechanical system of grain milling. 🔧 From hoisting the stones through the mill floors to leveling, cutting furrows, and setting the milling gap, each step requires precise mechanical knowledge and manual skill. 🌾 The milling process cuts the grain rather than crushing it, preserving flour quality through slow rotation and controlled friction. 🎥 Part of the Before Electric ity series, documenting pre-industrial milling technology still in operation today. 👉 Like • Share • Subscribe to continue the journey with Raw Machines.
