The Mill on the Floss ;)
« on: August 18, 2021, 10:49:14 »
A windmill, our new project. :)

We used the holes on the round tower walls to adapt the "mechanism", which can be moved at the back. So, no Steck pieces were harmed during the making of this mill. :lol:

We hope you enjoy!  :wave:

What a fantastic custom, and what a creative use of the old pirate ship rigging!

Marvelous!

That's just brilliant Lufty! Is it set in Holland?

(The Mill on the Floss was a watermill, btw, on the river Floss. I am being very pedantic this week aren't I?)

At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

You'll probably need to access PF in a different web browser. I cannot see the windmill either, and am using Chrome (and btw haven't yet checked in a different app). This happens more often, depending on where the linked pictures are hosted – Tahra's contributions throw up the same hurdle for me.

Hi Graham, it's not meant to be anywhere but those Holland-like customs seemed appropriate to the scenery...  :-[

You're absolutely right, I know it's neither a watermill nor on a river, but whenever I say/write "mill" my thoughts follow immediately to "The Mill on the Floss", I can't help it  (....hence the " ;) " at the end of the title :-[ )
Isn't it a beautiful - sad but oh so beautiful - book?
