8 Stomp 'ore Mill

[Oldmechthings]

I had every intent to build a scale model of a century old stamp mill of the kind that was used to crush ore, and pulled a bunch of information off the internet in preparation to get started, but before it got underway my whimsy side got in the way. I have a terrible time staying serious all the time when there are so many fun thing in life to get in the way. Anyway here is what turned out.

When I started this hobby early this year...it was that kind of thing that helped get me interested...and then I got sidetracked...

I've got a collection of pics and drawings to make a stamp battery myself one of these days, but it'll be a while the way things are going..

EXCELLENT !! Love it !! Now you've got to get it powered by a steam engine :big:

tel - sweet model - how about a separate build/picture thread for your stamp mill ?? I've seen a few of those in their native environment in Colorado and CA. They look simple, yet the design is quite sophisticated !
