Ben's Mill
A few day ago, Francis Robinson (Farmer) made reference to one of his favorite videos, Ben's Mill. I replied that I had watched the video on PBS many years ago and I enjoyed watching Ben work in his mill, on all his old machines. There is a segment of the show on the Internet, but I found that Highland Hardware sells the complete video for $25. It was delivered in a couple of days and I watched it again tonight and enjoyed it as much as my first viewing.
