New South Mill / Stone Dressing / Metcalf Mills V296 

Umbrella wielding rooster fighting kid, one day she'll know just how amazing her childhood has been. God bless y'all.

I like watching a master of his trade at work. You can tell by watching somebody how knowledgeable they are. I think your kids are blessed being raised like they are.

Lots of work and a LOT of patience required, not to mention experience and skill. "I've never seen a girl that fights roosters with an umbrella." haha You go, Charlotte.

God bless you and your family. You're a great man. Your children will do well in life being raised by you

An experienced man with lots of patience at work. Very interesting. All the best from Paddy in Ireland.

You are the best 30 min of my day !!!! Blessings

Wow I rewatched so much work. You have a very special art to that I couldn't sit that long. Have a great day looking forward to part 2. ❤🙏

like to see you in the shop and showing how the people live and work today and in the past from Wisconsin good luck ..

I enjoyed this so much. Thanks for the lesson. Great content and so well filmed edited and put together

Another nice mill , thanks for Sharing it with us.

THE STONE IS GETTING TRUE.

Something real relaxing about watching you dress the stones. It's also amazing to see such workmanship in the things made in the past and how well they last not like today's plastic throw aways. Oh and missed the Sunday singing video.

Enjoyed watching the progress of getting the millstones in order! Thanks for sharing the details of the mills, too!

I thought that your job was tough. It's obvious to anyone that this high quality work should be respected. Thanks for showing us your skills. Your doing a great job with your children.

💘, great work Justin.

Good seeing you again. Praying all is well.

And seeing the girls too. Mine call me pop too

So interesting!

Awesome Job Brother!

Very Interesting Work! Justro, You do great work! Hang in there buddy! Tell Charolette to keep an eye out for those roosters! Lol

Looking good Justro, that's going to be nice stones when you finish. The problem with our fast paced world today is that folks don't realize this kind of work doesn't happen with the push of a button.

I enjoy watching your videos. I’d love to come spend the day with you sometime and get to watch it live

Very good video. Lots of hard work thanks for sharing your knowledge

Love watching you work….smooth and steady to getter done..thanks for showing us the arts of old..💛

Keep on chipping!😁💛

Beautiful work!

Nice to see you! Bear is a hard worker. The stain/red paint is such a great idea to figure out what to work on next. Thank you Justro for your craftsmanship

The video is really good Justin! We look forward to watching your content. The video quality continues to get better and you have the best music. I would like to ask that you consider keeping the music volume at the same level as the voice volume or a little lower. I appreciate that you don't have music playing while you are talking. Other content creators do that and it becomes difficult to understand what is being said. We hope you are all doing well. The spring time is full of excitement and of course many chores. God bless you all.

Enjoyed that video

I've got an old mill in The Corn Crib with my great-grandfather used I'm going to have to get it out and see if it's still usable

Very interesting Justro, I like watching someone like you do top notch work. And the cameo appearances of Bear and the Little Rooster Fighter was nice too. God bless you and the girls.

watching you thread that rod took me back to when I had to do that. I couldn't do it now if I had too. We used to own our own machine shop and I would work sometimes until midnight. With 4 kids. Jim now is part owner in a big shop here where we live. It's very interesting watch you do this.

Always enjoy hearing from you Justin

Nice. Interesting as usual. This obviously takes a lot of experience and persistence to get right.❤️👏

Wow Justro , that is an intense labor of love work that you do . When you build your mills , do you have to totally cut & dress each individual blank round of stone ?

Interesting work you do. And very rewarding. Thanks for sharing 👍

I really liked this video, it tells alot. With regular use of a mill, how often does it require dressing? Could you use something like a pneumatic needle scaler to save your hands a bit? Thanks again for the video Justro

Requires a lot of patience. I was wondering if I would be able to dress my stones if they need to be done with carpel tunnel? I do a lot of woodworking and repetitive hand sanding, and even holding and painting with a brush for 10 min or so and my fingers are numb.

Another awesome video, was wondering how long does it take to dress a stone

The seed catalogs ads are following me on you tube, they know what time of year it is :D Whew that rubbing is a hard sound to hear :D Thanks for taking us along Justro, I'm learning with every episode. I've got you on one screen and old1920's Meadows and Woods manuals open on the other while watching. It's great to see what I'm reading. Thank you! Mine was freshly dressed when I got it, but I know I'll have to learn dressing. You might want to show the hammer faces in the next video and hopefully into the furrows. Is there a reason to use the hammer vs the air tool? I was told one thing to use is concentrated kool aid for the red since it is food grade, what are you using? I've made more progress on the "Have grits will travel" truck. Then brakes on the truck and a visit to the health department for their blessing, that'll be a big one. Hopefully in time to make the farmers markets this year. Keep up the good work! Oh, roosters. I knew it was his time when my wife appeared with a trash can lid for a shield, handed me an Old Hickory and said "He's gotta go" :D

Need fan for 22 new south

First😊

How many bushels between dressings? I was wondering about the old water powered mills with large stones how did they check the contact (test run)?

Fascinating to watch your process! I understand that you are knocking off the high points, but I'm puzzled as to why the wheels don't grind each other flat, knocking off the high points, as they spin? (Along the lines of how the red is knocked off of the high points) Are some areas of the two stones harder or denser than others?

Justin, do you think the wood dried out a bit making the threads too short?

Why not just put washers on the back side to pull the bolts back some?

Another nice mill , thanks for Sharing it with us.
