I so very much enjoyed this video. I have been a dentist for over 48 years, and fit and finish is everything. No matter what we skilled artisans construct, it is all about fit and finish. I salute the young man, and the other members of his team, who helped him construct this magnificent piece of hand craftsmanship. So, from the making of a dental crown, to his magnificent water wheel, it is all the same. We create something of lasting value, and creativity. And each project is unique, and special. Thank you, young man, may you make many more artistic projects in your long life. Thank you again, Dr. George M. Whitehead D.D.S.
Üdvözlöm önöket. Nagyon tetszik hogy felújították ezt a régi,de nagyon hasznos gépet! Az is nagyon tetszik,hogy mindenkinek ragyog az arca a jól végzett munkájuk miatt. Tisztelettel: B. Szabó László nyugdíjas mozdonyvezető Dunaújvárosból!
The young man did it as part of his final exam as carpenter. They have to do a practical Object beside all the other tests, after 4years of apprenticeship. After that he is a licensed(?) not sure that's the right word?, carpenter here in switzerland. (Hope my english make sence?)
Congratulations!!! Beautiful work. The water wheel was wonderful. Here in Brazil the water wheel is. widely used for various functions. I have a water wheel designed to generate electricity. Thank you very much for posting this video.
Enjoyed the clip, There is basic engineering in the mill and it would also make a great place for students of mechanical engineering to go for a field tour.
where they still could or better should, learn and do things without their calculators and iBooks... a pencil and a ruler, that is all that is needed. wonder how many could construct such a waterwheel the way these two students did.
Benedikt Morak Erm... he did use CAD as well, as shown in the video? A good craftsman uses the best tool for the job that's available. Sure, pencil and notebook are important, as I teach my electronics students. But it's a bit naff to complain about useful tools that everyone has available nowadays....
Love it! Old world enginuity that lasts forever. I hope it sinks in. I hope it inspires many to now bring back these wonderful timeless skills. Love Q-PID : )
There has been 'talk', a lot of talk about constructing the wheel at a Mill in our village over the last 25 years....and I'm sure they will still be talking in another 25! Good job.

Very refreshing to see young men taking up such a job and doing it superbly well. If that was used for generating power, what would be expected output? Keep up the good work.
Fantastic workmanship. I know of one in New Jersey, USA that needs replacing. A little smaller but about as old. Also need a much smaller one on the farm. Thanks
Sehr schöne Arbeit. Stellt euch vor, wie das früher ging - ohne elektrische Bohrmaschinen, Bandsäge, Fräse- ohne Kran... da war es ein Kraftakt noch dazu.
if y'all make a water wheel like this again, just put the second side down on the first and use shims to *lift* the paddles up into the second side's slots when you line them up... so much easier... then you pull the shims out and pack it down
Es una maravilla ver moverse la rueda que desde cuando sera ese acerradero de madera..y por cuanto mas continuara para el deleite de las generaciones..que nunca se pierda esto...Guayaquil Ecuador.
Amazing skill and planning..water driven which proves there are places where it can work and applications..Maybe there are places in America where this can be done..
Abilities beyond the norm for sure. I was only worried about the guy's eyes since not one of them wore any safety glasses. But They do know how to build such things for certain.
Hi there, I've been making smaller garden waterwheels for some time now, though I get requests to make larger one.. How do you create the temple for your curves etc
2016.no problem to get that amount of wood. wonder if they could do it 2022? and not thinking of Corona. They were only a few, i only saw 4, and i nthe end the finishing crew. so there should be no problem? One question though i don't see anything about. the -templates - for certain things. where did he get them from? made them himself? or were they - somewhere - in a corner in the shop? not that it matters much one would suppose, it is good to see that young people are still interested i nsuch works. AND even better to see that they go with the times and know how to use tools that make their work easier ( Cad...)
solche jungen Leute braucht es!Und nicht nur - Fachidioten - die gerade mal 2 und 2 ohne Rechner zusammenzählen können. Die 2 Lehrlinge haben sicher ein 1 bekommen?
The Wheel is installed the wrong way round, It should discharge the spent water Downstream NOT UPSTREAM, sorry to inform you. and any bypass water from the stream should flow under the wheel just touching the bottom of the wheel, that will give more energy, In your installation, the wheel should be trying to role UPSTREAM.
Overshot (this one) and undershot designs are used in different applications. The undershot is for very low head of water here they have a hull head so they use the overshot wheel. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_wheel
As much as i like great hand work. Acnc router would make quick and easy work of this. 3-d cad and it would go together the a perfect puzzle. .....i have to say well done ...
Well it was good but left me wanting some understanding such is it a purely aesthetic thing rt does it have a purpose? as I dont know i am believing the former....
Muito bom o Trabalho de vcs , só não entendi que , a roda foi embarcada em uma Carreta no Minuto 9:20 e depois foi Desmbarcada no Local em um Caminhão Toco simples no Minuto 13:10 !?
Arbeitsschutz ist ihnen ein Fremdwort, wenn ich schon sehe, dass sie ohne Schutzbrille arbeiten und die Hobelbank mit der blanken Hand sauber machen wird einem ganz anders. Schiebehölzer kennen sie auch nicht, man kann sich extra ein Holzstück basteln damit man die Bauteile über die Hobelbank schieben kann und man nicht in die Messer gerät.
